--- title: "Grilled Corn, Steak, and Peach Dense Bean Salad" subtitle: date: 2025-02-22T00:00:00-07:00 draft: true tags: [dense bean salad] --- Original Link: Tiktok ## Ingredients ### Salad 2 ears of corn 2 tbs avocado oil 1 lb of flank or bavette steak (you can do up to 1 1/2 lbs, butcher cuts can be inconsistent but this recipe is very forgiving!) 2 tsp sea salt 1 pint of cherry tomatoes 3 peaches 1/2 a red onion 1 bunch of cilantro 1 bunch of chives 1 ball of fresh burrata to serve 1 can of white beans 1 can of chickpeas ### For the Dressing 2 tbs balsamic vinegar (I used fig balsamic and it was really good) juice of 1 lemon 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 tsp Dijon mustardd big pinch of sea salt 1/2 tsp herbs de Provence 1 tbs honey 1 clove of grated garlic ## Instruction - Generously season the steak with the sea salt and set it on a paper towel on a grill tray to let the salt absorb. If you grill a lot mini sheet pans to hold your grill stuff is an amazing kitchen purchase. - Shuck the corn and coat in the avocado oil. - Go outside and preheat your grill to around 400. - Once the grill is preheated add the corn to an upper rack and let cook covered for 10 minutes. - Move the corn to a lower rack and add the steak to the lower grill level. It depends on the thickness and kind of steak you use but cook your steak for about 3 min on each side till it’s medium rare. Rotate the corn as the steak cooks about 4 times to get all four sides evenly charred. - Remove the steak and corn from the grill and let them cool while you prep the vegetables. - Slice the tomatoes in half. Chop the peaches. Mince the chives and cilantro. Add all of your chopped vegetables and herbs to a large bowl. - Rinse and drain the beans. A few people have said their salads are soggy, this is key to preventing that! - Add the beans to the salad mixture. - Cut your steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl. - Cut the corn off of the cob. The easier way I’ve found to do this is to lay the corn flat on a cutting board and slice it down rotating it. - In a small container mix together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, herbs, garlic, honey, and Dijon mustard. I like to mix my dressings with a milk frother to make them extra creamy - Pour the dressing over the salad and toss. I think the salad is best if you let the dressing marinate for at least an hour. - Serve topped with fresh burrata and enjoy! - It lasts about 3 days in the fridge (the peaches do get a bit mushy, but tbh it doesn’t last long in my house bc we eat it so quickly).
