Dry-Rubbed Flank Steak with Grilled Corn Salsa

Ingredients for Dry-Rubbed Flank Steak with Grilled Corn Salsa

• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon ancho chilli powder

• 1 tablespoon paprika

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt

• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic

• 1 teaspoon English mustard powder

• 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander

• 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill

• 3 ears of corn, shucked

• 1/4 red onion, finely chopped

• 1 jalapeño, seeds removed, finely chopped

• 575ml cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 cup fresh coriander, coarsely chopped

• 80ml fresh lime juice

• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

• 675g flank steak

Combine brown sugar, chilli powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, granulated garlic, mustard powder, coriander, and cumin in a small bowl.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until lightly browned all over, 8–10 minutes; let cool. Cut kernels from cobs and place in a medium bowl. Add onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, coriander, and lime juice to corn and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Set salsa aside.

Meanwhile, coat steak with all of dry rub, packing on more than once if needed, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil to help rub adhere. Grill steak, turning occasionally and moving to a cooler spot on grill as needed to control flare-ups, until nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 54°C, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.

Return steak to grill just to recrisp exterior, about 1 minute per side. Transfer back to cutting board and slice against the grain. Serve topped with salsa.

Salsa can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
