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.

I LOVE this post. The corn relish over this flavorful flank!! Have got to try it. Have you ever seen the other method of shucking corn?? Its quite, um, intriguing. LMK if you havent. Ill send you the link. It involves rubber bands.
Mmmmm summer grilling! I am SO going to try this! What did the kids think of it?
corn and steak!! yummy!
Everything about this meal looks awesome! So, so summery :D
What an awesome tip for takes the kernels off of the corn! I wish I would have known this when I made my corn salad!
Your steak is wonderful. This is a terrific summer dish!
Your marinade sounds great - the whole meal looks like my kind of dinner.
that is a cool tip to strip corn off its husk! Rachel Ray can be a genius sometimes despite her corny "E.V.O.O"s and "Yum-o"s. lol.
Oooh~ I am loving the sounds of all those ingredients in the marinade!
The flavors that are going on in this sound fantastic! We would relish it LOL!!!! Seriously, it sounds soooo good!
Looks delicious. The marinade sounds great!
Such a healthy and tasty sounding dish! Love all those veggies!
I love adobo sauce in shrimp marinades but haven't tried it on Josh's steaks! I will have to use this recipe. Thank you ;) Fresh ingredients make everything better, don't they?
Wow-that looks amazing with all that fresh goodness in one place....plus the zip of the chipotle pepper. Yum!
Corn relish, I've never seen that before! What a great and sweet idea! Must pair really well with the adobo, which is slightly acidic and give you great balance!
This dish looks so yummy. I absolutely love corn/tomato salad and could eat it nonstop. I put my corn inside a bowl without 2nd bowl inside and it works fine -- one less thing to wash. And you are absolutely correct -- fresh corn on the cob and home-roasted peppers will make this dish even better.
Ah, that relish looks wonderful! We're having corn tonight but the family would freak out if I did that to it...hehe
This looks great - especially with the corn relish! I bet it's really tender and flavorful from being marinated over night.
I just came over from Reeni's post. What a great blog you have going, everything looks so delicious : )
