Skirt Steak with Corn and Anaheim Chili Salsa
The hot weather has kept me out of the kitchen of late, but I decided to fire up the stove for this Mexican-inspired dish. I rubbed the skirt steak with canola oil, paprika and cumin and seared it in a cast-iron pan, then let it rest and sliced it against the grain to ensure tenderness. For the salsa, I roasted two Anaheim chiles under the broiler and then peeled and chopped them. I also broiled some fresh corn on the cob and gave it a little extra color by turning it directly over the burner for a few seconds, then sliced off the kernels into a bowl. I assembled the salsa by combining the chiles and corn with diced onion, lime juice and S&P. The Anaheim chiles were a bit hotter than I expected, but the heat was offset by the lime juice. The steak was a tad overdone for my taste; it was probably fine when I took it off the heat to rest, but the carryover took it past medium rare. Overall though, I was pleased with the flavors and the presentation.
