Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Dressing:

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 2 teaspoons seeded and minced jalapeño pepper (Optional)

  • ¾ teaspoon minced fresh ginger

  • cup lime juice

  • ¼ cup packed cilantro leaves

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salad:

  • 1 pound flat iron steak

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup corn kernels

  • 1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper

  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion

  • 1 plum tomato, diced

  • ½ jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (Optional)

  • 8 cups torn romaine lettuce

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1 cup tortilla chips, or to taste

Directions

  1. Make the dressing: Pulse garlic, jalapeño, and ginger in a blender until finely chopped. Add lime juice, cilantro, honey, balsamic vinegar, and salt; pulse to blend. Turn the blender on; pour in oil in a slow, steady stream. Blend until dressing is smooth.

  2. Set an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.

  3. Make the salad: Season steak with salt and black pepper, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Broil in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

  5. While the steak is cooking, stir together corn, bell pepper, onion, tomato, and jalapeño in a bowl.

  6. Remove steak from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice steak against the grain.

  7. Divide lettuce among 4 plates. Drizzle dressing over top, then top with steak slices and corn mixture. Sprinkle with feta and serve with tortilla chips.

Tips

You can use the kernels from 1 ear of fresh corn (grilled) instead of canned corn if desired.

Goat Cheese Sauce

Goat Cheese Sauce

I really wanted my husband to try goat cheese, so the other night I asked him if he wanted scalloped potatoes in a cheese sauce; he said 'yes,' and this is what I made. Afterwards he said I would definitely need to make this again, as he had four helpings. When I told him that it was goat cheese all he could say was 'REALLY?' and kept eating. I would say this was a winner; how about you? Just pour finished sauce over your choice of pasta, potatoes, or whatever you like.
