Ingredients
  

2 ribeye steaks (about 8 oz each)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

6 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, or your preference)

Optional: Slices of avocado for garnishing

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steaks: Begin by preheating your grill to a high heat setting. While the grill heats, rub each ribeye steak with olive oil on all surfaces, then season generously with salt and black pepper. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to enhance their flavor and tenderness.

    Grill the Steaks: Once the grill is hot, place the steaks directly on the grill grates. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to suit your preferred level of doneness. After grilling, remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes; this helps retain the juices.

      Cook the Corn Salsa: While the steaks are resting, grab a skillet and heat it over medium heat. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred and fragrant, which will take around 5-7 minutes.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the charred corn, diced red bell pepper, red onion, minced jalapeño, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze the juice of the limes over the mixture and sprinkle in the cumin and smoked paprika. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then gently toss everything together to evenly mix the ingredients.

          Assemble the Salad: On a large serving platter or in individual bowls, layer a generous base of mixed greens. Slice the rested grilled steaks against the grain into thick strips and artistically arrange them atop the greens. Spoon the flavorful corn salsa over the steak.

            Final Touches: For an added layer of creaminess, top the dish with avocado slices, if desired. A final drizzle of fresh lime juice can enhance the salad's brightness.

              Serve: Dive into your vibrant and delicious Sizzling Steak & Corn Salsa Salad while it’s fresh and enjoy every bite!
