Well-seasoned steak is topped with a flavorful Mexican corn salad. Let the meat sit before slicing so it's tender and juicy. It's an excellent choice because it's leaner than skirt steak. Cut the steak against the grain to make the fibers shorter and the steak easier to chew. One tablespoon of minced jalapeño equals one very small chile. Taste a piece. If it has no bite, add 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the salad. Letting cooked meat sit to reabsorb its juices is key to a great steak. Garnish the dish with cilantro and fresh lime.
