Recipes 3 and 4 of the June Gourmet Challenge.Grilled skirt steak salad recipe here
Salvadoran grilled corn recipe here
This was a surprisingly easy and tasty dinner. I prepared the salad dressing and the corn dip in advance, while Melina was distracted, and the actual grilling of the corn & steak took about 10 minutes. Jeff and I both thought the dressing for the corn tasted like Burger King's special sauce; but I didn't mind. I love grilled corn - it is so much easier to prepare than boiled or steamed corn on the cob, and it's so good with a squeeze of lime and some salt and pepper. The steak salad was great, too. I don't usually go for steak, but this was good. Skirt steak is very thin and it grills up fast. It went very well with the Catalina dressing (which I would make again) and the blue cheese.
Melina liked this meal a lot. She is a "single ingredient" girl - she doesn't like when things are mixed together too much, so she basically got corn, steak, and bread. I think that's pretty typical for a 4-year-old. The chickens enjoyed the leftovers too - they go crazy for corn on the cob. So all in all, we were very satisfied. There was a minor drama when Melina spilled juice in her lap, but it was over quickly.
