Adobo Flank Steak with Summer Corn and Tomato Relish




This was a really fun and different way to make steak. The marinade is full of smoky flavor and the corn relish adds a freshness and sweetness that balances the dish out perfectly. I would even make the corn relish as a side dish. In my opinion this will come out the very best if you use all fresh ingredients, including fresh corn on the cob and fresh red peppers roasted yourself. Also, be aware before making this that you will want to marinade the steak overnight.

I think I saw Rachael Ray do this, but for an easy way to cut your corn off the cob without getting corn everywhere, but a small bowl inside a big bowl. Use the small bowl to prop your corn off, and then the big bowl catches it. Cool huh! It will save you from a mess.
