Instructions
 

  • 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!
