Ingredients
Steak
  • 1 1-1/2 pound flat iron steak
  • 2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tsp. smoke paprika
  • 2 tsp. ancho chile powder
  • 3 tsp. Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
Corn and tomato salad
  • 2 ears corn
  • 1 yellow squash, halved lengthwise
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
  • 1 scallion
  • 1 cup mixed grape and cherry tomatoes, halved.
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the cumin, smoked paprika, chile powder, salt and pepper. Stir in the minced garlic and olive oil to make a paste. Rub the paste all over the steak and let sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours. (Cover and refrigerate if leaving it more than 30 minutes.)
  2. Meanwhile, heat a grill over high heat. While the grill heats, spray the corn, pepper, and yellow squash with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper. Cut the scallion into 2 inch pieces then thinly slice them into strips. Soak the strips in ice water.
  3. When the grill is hot, grill the corn, peppers and squash until tender and slight charred. Set aside to cool.
  4. Cook the steak on the grill over high heat for two minutes per side. Reduce the heat to low and cook another 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until medium to medium rare.
  5. While the steak cooks, cut the squash and peppers into bite-sized pieces. Cut the corn from the cobs. Combine the tomatoes, corn, squash and peppers in a bowl. Drain the scallions and toss with the other vegetables. Drizzle a little olive oil over the salad and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. When the steak comes off the grill, let it rest for a minute or two then slice against the grain into thin slices. Serve immediately alongside the salad.
