Before I’ve plated the meat I’m currently grilling for dinner, I’m already asking the hubs what we should grill the next night. I can’t help it — the weather has been fantastic and we have been cooped up way too long the past few months. I want to do everything I possibly can outside, including cooking and eating! When a steak craving hits, I always try to think of a new way to marinate it. One of my favorites is in lime juice, as the acid helps the juices and other seasonings to really soak through and penetrate all of the meat for a juicy, delicious, out-of-this world tender steak. Add to it the roasted corn salsa (another favorite summer indulgence) and what we have here is one of the most perfect grilled recipes ever, if I do say so myself! I’m being very serious when I say you’ll want to put this Cilantro Lime Marinated Steak with Corn Salsa on your weekly menu.
Here’s How To Make It
Alright, here’s a quick run down of how to make Cilantro Lime Marinated Steak with Corn Salsa.
How Long To Cook Steak on Each Side
Depending on how you like your steaks done, the amount of time they need to grill or cook in a pan will vary. For rare, cook the steaks for only 2-3 minutes on each side. For medium-done, cook them for 4 minutes per side and for well done, cook for 5-6 minutes per side. Be sure to only turn the steak once, so as not to dry it out. Use tongs rather than a fork to turn the meat so that the juices don’t run out before it’s had time to rest.
What Is The Best Steak To Grill?
I like to grill flank or skirt steaks, but other great cuts of beef that cook up well with this steak recipe on the grill include ribeye, filet, t-bone, porterhouse, top sirloin, flat iron, bottom round, and striploin.
Should You Close the Grill When Cooking Steak?
I close the grill lid when I’m cooking thick steaks because the temperature stays high and even. This doesn’t work as well with thinner cuts as closing the lid will cause the steak to cook too fast and dry out.
Serving Suggestions
While the corn salsa makes a great topper for this steak marinade without soy sauce, I do like to add some other side dishes to round out this meal.
Summer pasta salads are easy to make ahead and always go with cookouts! Same goes for fruit salads, and they can double as a healthy dessert too — add a dollop of whipped cream if your kids need some convincing. It’s easy to grill up veggies right alongside the steak, although I admit I’m a big fan of pairing asparagus with my beef. While you’re at the grill, why not also cook up these baked potato foil packs? If you’re the type that needs a carb-y side with their steak, I got you covered with these easy garlic knots.
