Start by making the marinade - simply mix together all of the marinade ingredient in a large bowl to combine well. Add your cut of skirt steak, make sure it's well coated and then cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Next, you'll make the sweetcorn salsa - start by grilling the sweetcorn. Brush the corn with oil and place each corn cob on the grill / BBQ for roughly 8 minutes, turning frequently until cooked and slightly charred. Remove from the BBQ, allow to cool and then slice the corn kernels from the cob.
In a bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, coriander and onion with the lime juice and some salt - mix to combine.
To cook the steak - place on a preheated grill / bbq or a in a hot pan and leave undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to form a delicious sear. Turn and cook for a further 3-4 minutes or until it meets your desired done-ness (54-57C for medium rare).
Allow to steak to rest for 5-10 minutes, slice (against the grain) and serve topped with your sweetcorn salsa!
