Ingredients for Chipotle-Coffee Steak Salad with Grilled Corn and Tomatoes

• 2 teaspoons finely ground coffee

• 1 teaspoon chipotle chilli powder

• 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

• 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar, divided

• 1 teaspoon ground coriander, divided

• 2 (8–275g ) New York strip steaks

• 45ml olive oil, plus more for brushing

• 2 ears of corn, husked

• 575ml cherry tomatoes

• 45ml fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)

• 2 heads of cos hearts, torn (about 1275g )

• 120g Pickled Onions

• 60g crumbled Cotija or feta cheese (about 70g )

• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped coriander, plus more for serving

Combine coffee, chilli powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoons coriander in a wide shallow bowl. Coat steaks evenly with rub. Let rest at room temperature 1–2 hours.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat grill pan over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Grill steaks, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre registers 49°C, 8–10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 15 minutes before thinly slicing.

Meanwhile, lightly brush corn and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, 5–10 minutes for tomatoes and 10–15 minutes for corn. Let cool slightly. Transfer tomatoes to a large bowl. Cut kernels from cobs and transfer to bowl with tomatoes.

Whisk lime juice and remaining 3 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoons coriander in a small bowl. Pour over tomatoes and corn. Add cos, pickled onions, cheese, and 1/2 cup coriander and toss to combine. Top with sliced steak and more coriander.
