Yaaaay for steak, summer heat, bbq and everything fresh season! No, Iām not over it yet, although I know many foodie friends are already dreaming of pumpkin, Fall and spice. Now donāt quote me just yet cause Iām a die hard Fall loving person too..just waiting for the perfect time š
So are you still grilling up a storm this season? Well all I can ask is please please before you pack up your BBQ, make this grilled sirloin steak with cilantro corn salsa! Donāt miss out. If youāre having friends over, cooking for a loved one or just cooking for yourselfāyouāll absolutely enjoy it š Now todayās recipe is a grilled sirloin steak, but that doesnāt mean you canāt indulge in your favorite cut of steak. Think New York strip, flank, tenderloin or your favorite. My personal favorite is always a tenderloināI write more about it and share tips on steak perfection in this Grilled Steak with Rosemary Lemon Butter recipe, another winner steak dinner!
Basically your favorite cut will use up some garlic powder, salt and pepper with brush of olive oil before it hits the grill. And depending on the thickness of your steak cut, and how well/rare you prefer your steak to be, youāll need to grill the steak for 3-6 minutes per side. Now rest this lovely piece of steak on a wooden board and tent it loosely with some foil on top. This resting and tenting combo makes sure your steak stays nice and juicy. Easy, simple and utterly deliciousāthe simplest things in life are really the best!
Now as perfect as this grilled sirloin steak is as it is, we donāt have to stop there. Since itās sweet corn season too, and since I absolutely love corn ( just take a peak at this Cheddar Zucchini Best Cornbread Recipe or this Best Strawberry Corn Salsa and youāll know!), plus I have a thing for cilantro and guacamole dressings/sauces (like this Mexican Style Lentil Detox Salad or this Shrimp Salad with Avocado Dressing). So by combining all this, the amazing cilantro corn salsa came to life. Pure snacking addiction.
For the record, the cilantro sauce is what makes the salsa stand out. I love my tiny handy food processor, I take it out for everything dressing, sauce and small batch marinades. I love zipping in some scallions, fresh cilantro, jalapeƱos, lime juice, honey and olive oil. Season it and thatās it. This sauce is like a miracle. Add it to corn and youāve got an amazing corn salsa, top it over pitted avocados and youāve got like an instant whole avocado guacamole, top some over your steak for a quick cilantro sauce, and top it over some simple mashed sweet potatoes for a zesty kick to sweet potatoes! Then keep extras in your fridge and use it as a topping for chopped tomatoes and feta cheese or dip your chicken in it, spread it on your quesadillas and just be as creative as you want with it!
This is really a super yum recipe, I canāt urge you enough to try it! Itās a steak loversā dream, a family and friends gathering dream..and itās simpler than ever. I would absolutely make this even on my coldest days for a perfect steak house feel and to reminisce the lovely warm summer bbq season. Now while youāre still at it, enjoy this grilled sirloin steak asap š
