Grilled Steak Ensalada with Green Chili Ranch Dressing

June 20, 2018 by Wrenn Leave a Comment

We wanted to share one of our new favorites go-to meals for the summer! This salad was inspired by a salad that is served at one of our favorite restaurants in Manhattan. It offers a ton of flavor and is a super easy meal that can be whipped up in no time! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

A Busy Month in the Flint Hills

It has been quite a busy month and a half and to be honest I am not for sure what we have done with our time! I do know we have been checking cattle that are on grass and chasing kids around! I also know we have not had time to share any of our new recipes we have been cooking up in the kitchen.

Here are some Instagram shares of us checking cattle over the last month! To follow along be sure to check our stories on Instagram!

Grilled Steak Ensalada with Green Chili Ranch Dressing

steak enslada_-20

1.5 lbs Flank or skirt steak
Soy sauce
Worcestershire sauce
Grill seasoning
2 Roman hearts
2 Ears corn
1 lb Mini sweet peppers
4 Corn tortillas

To get the meat marinating pat excess moisture off the steak with a paper towel and prick the Flank steak with a knife on both sides to tenderize. Coat the meat in a liberal amount of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce and rub them both in (this also gives the grill seasoning something to stick to), then season with grill seasoning. Flip the steak and do the same to the other side. Place in a plastic bag and return to the refrigerator. Let the steak marinate for 4-6 hours.

Light your grill and while you are waiting for your fire to get hot fry your corn tortillas.

Slice up the corn tortillas into strips and fry in oil. Once they have turned golden brown and gotten crispy pull them out and sprinkle with salt. We fry the strips in batches.

Once your fire is hot, grill your meat, roman heats, corn and mini sweet peppers. steak enslada_-25We prefer our steaks medium rare so 3-4 minutes on each side on a hot grill should get you there. Pull your meat off and place on a plate under tented foil to rest, before slicing. Once your veggies are roasted pull off and set aside to rest a minute. Rough cut your romaine hearts and cut the corn off the cob. Then slice your steak. steak enslada_-26To make your plate, place the romaine hearts down, top with corn and sweet peppers and dress with the Green Chili Ranch Dressing. Place your steak to the side along with your fried corn strips.steak enslada_-33
