For extra flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you don't have a broiler, you can grill the steak over medium-high heat. Adjust the amount of jalapeño in the dressing and salad to your preference. Feel free to add other toppings to the salad, such as avocado, black beans, or roasted bell peppers.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMake the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, jalapeño, and ginger. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the lime juice, cilantro, honey, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Pulse to blend. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the broiler: Position an oven rack approximately 4 inches from the broiler element. Preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)
03
StepSeason and prepare the steak: Generously season the flat iron steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Place the seasoned steak on the prepared baking sheet. (2 minutes)
04
StepBroil the steak: Broil the steak in the preheated oven until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, broil for approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 135°F (57°C). (8-10 minutes)
05
StepPrepare the salad base: While the steak is cooking, in a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, chopped yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced red onion, diced plum tomato, and thinly sliced jalapeño pepper. Toss gently to combine. (5 minutes)
06
StepRest and slice the steak: Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. After resting, thinly slice the steak against the grain. (12 minutes)
07
StepAssemble the salad: Divide the torn romaine lettuce among four plates or bowls. Drizzle a generous amount of the cilantro-lime dressing over the lettuce. Top with the sliced steak and the corn mixture. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad. Serve immediately with tortilla chips on the side. (5 minutes)
