Ingredients

This refreshing salad with ripe tomatoes, grilled corn, black beans, fresh herbs and a flavourful dressing topped with a grilled beef rib eye steak is satisfying and a perfect dish to enjoy any time of year.

  • 5 tbsp (75 mL) canola or vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) ancho chili powder
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) ground cumin
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) salt, divided
  • 2 cobs corn, husked
  • 2 pitas
  • 1 Beef Rib Eye Grilling Steak, 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick (about 8 oz/250 g)
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) mayonnaise
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) grated lime zest
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh lime juice
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper
  • 1 can (14 oz/398 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and diced
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) chopped fresh cilantro
  • Mixed greens (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
 

Preparation

Stir together 3 tbsp (45 mL) of the oil, chili powder, cumin and ¼ tsp (1 mL) of the salt in a small bowl. Brush corn cobs and pitas lightly with oil mixture; set aside.

Pat steaks dry with paper towel and brush all over with remaining oil mixture.

Grill corn in a closed preheated barbecue over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) for about 8 minutes, turning to cook all sides, until tender. At the same time, grill steak, turning twice or more, for 6 to 8 minutes or until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of steak reads 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare desired at the least.

Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes; transfer corn to a bowl and let cool slightly. Grill pita, turning once, for about 2 minutes or until grilled marked; set aside.

Cut kernels from grilled corn.

Whisk together remaining oil, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lime zest and juice, pepper and the remaining salt in a large bowl. Add beans and tomato and corn and stir well to coat.

Carve steak into thin slices across the grain and add to salad with feta and chopped cilantro; stir to combine. Divide greens onto plates (if using) and top with salad. Serve with pitas and fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.
