Chipotle Marinated Flatiron Steak with Avocado and Grilled Corn Salsa
Happy Monday my friends!
Yes, I said happy Monday. Yes, I know that sounds just plain dirty.
But, I’ve been a little doom and gloom lately and I’m ready to pull myself out of my funk. Work has been hard, and my schedule has been busy and I’ve been a bit of a buzz kill. So happy Monday! Because positivity really can change your whole day.
I have a great job, I live in a great place and I get to cook awesome food.
To top it all off, it’s summer and I get to spend my time by the barbeque!
You will need…
1 ½ pound flatiron steak
1 orange, juiced
2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can
2 large garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Start by combining the orange juice, chipotle, garlic and olive oil in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, lay out your meat and season it well with salt and pepper.
Pour the chipotle marinade over the meat and set aside for 30 minutes to overnight.
When you are ready to cook, heat the grill to a high heat.
Grill the steak until it is seared well on both sides and cooked to medium. About 6 minutes a side. Discard the marinade.
Remove the meat from the grill, cover with foil and allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the meat about ¼ inch thick against the grain.
Top with the avocado corn salsa and serve hot.
