GRILLED STEAK MARINADE

Marinade

½ small onion, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes

3/4 lb. flank steak
1 lb. heirloom tomatoes, cut into large wedges
2 ears of corn, husks removed and kernels sliced off (about 1 cup)
½ small sweet onion, thinly sliced
5 oz. arugula
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 oz. chunk Parmesan cheese

Serves 4

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place marinade ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a large zip-top bag and add steak. Marinate in the refrigerator at least four hours and preferably overnight.

2. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and cook 5-7 minutes per side, or until medium-rare. Remove to a plate for 20 minutes. Discard remaining marinade.

3. Place tomatoes, corn, onion and arugula in a large bowl. Add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to combine. Transfer salad to a large platter.

4. Slice meat thinly, perpendicular to the grain, and lay slices on top of salad. Shave Parmesan on top with a vegetable peeler.

I would add some garlic to this but otherwise, a good recipe.
