  1. Season the steak with 2 tsp of SIMPLi Peruvian Spice Salt Blend & let sit on the counter for 30 minutes or until it comes to room temperature.
  2. While the steak sits, make the charred scallion lime dressing. In a cast iron over medium-high heat, char scallions & a jalapeno.
  3. To a blender or food processor, add charred scallions & jalapeno, cilantro, garlic cloves, sour cream, olive oil, white wine vinegar, juice of a lime, SIMPLi Peruvian Pink Salt& pepper. You can also use an immersion blender to make the dressing. Dressing will last in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  4. Next, prepare your salad ingredients. Wash & chop tomatoes, red onion & greens.
  5. Remove the kernels off one corn cob & char the kernels in a cast iron over medium-high heat until they have some color. Set them aside.
  6. Keep the cast iron skillet on the stove & lower the heat to medium. Add in 2 tbsp of SIMPLi Extra Virgin Olive Oil Blend & immediately add in the seasoned steak. Cook until desired temperature, flipping halfway through for an even sear.
  7. Once the steak is done cooking, let it rest for 5 minutes, or longer if it’s a thick cut. A general rule of thumb is to let the steak sit for 5 minutes per inch.
  8. Once the steak has rested, slice into strips & assemble salad.
  9. Dress salad with charred scallion lime dressing & enjoy!
