Grilled Flank Steak with Cherries and Tomato Salad

Ingredients

1. 1 cup dried sweet cherries
2. 4 Cups grape tomatoes, halved
3. ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
4. ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
5. ½ cup Balsamic Vinegar
6. 1 small Poblano Pepper
7. 2 Large Radishes
8. 1 red or Orange Bell Pepper
9. 4 Green Onions chopped
10. 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
11. 2 Tbsp. coarse Sea Salt
12. 1 1-pound flank steak
13. ½ teaspoon ground pepper
14. ½ cup Blue Cheese Crumbles

Preheat grill to medium-high heat

Combine dried cherries, tomatoes, cilantro, oil, Vinegar Peppers, radishes and green onions, garlic and 1/2 Tbsp. salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Season steak with the remaining salt and pepper. Grill until 125* internally for Medium rare. Use your thermometer. This is only going to take about 6-7 minutes per side.

Slice the Flank Steak cross grain in ½ inch thick slices.

On your plate place part of your cheery and tomato salad mixture on the bottom and place your Flank Steak on the top. If there are any juices left on the cutting board you can drizzle those on your salad and top with some Blue Cheese Crumbles.

Grilled Corn on the Cob

Preheat grill to medium high heat.

Remove husks and silk from corn. Brush each piece with some melted butter if you wish.

Place corn directly on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes turning occasionally.

Remove from grill and serve with butter, salt. You can add some basil or Rosemary to the melted butter or even something a bit spicier.

Just make sure you remove ALL of the silk. That stuff gets everywhere including in your guest’s teeth.

Place the corn between the bars on your grill grate and leave a couple of spaces in between. That way they move easier and you can cover the whole cob with your butter.
