Directions

8 steps

Prepare the Steak:

  1. Step 1

    Season the striploin with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Let rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.

Prep Lemon Butter & Grill the Corn:

  1. Step 1

    Preheat grill to medium-high.

  2. Step 2

    As it heats, place a small skillet on your grill and make your lemon butter glaze by combining your butter, honey, lemon juice, and lemon pepper (note: salt may not be needed here as some lemon pepper seasonings contain salt already).

  3. Step 3

    Place husked corn directly on the grill, rotating occasionally. In the last 5 minutes, brush with lemon pepper honey butter as it chars, basting and turning to build up that glossy glaze.

Grill the Steak:

  1. Step 1

    Grill steak for 4–5 minutes per side or until medium-rare.

  2. Step 2

    Let rest 10 minutes, then slice thinly.

Make the Chimichurri:

  1. Step 1

    Mix parsley, cilantro, garlic, chili flakes, vinegar, olive oil, and salt in a bowl.

Assemble the Salad:

  1. Step 1

    Slice kernels off the corn. In a bowl or on a platter, layer arugula, corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado, feta, and sliced steak. Spoon chimichurri overtop.
