Steak & Lemon-Parmesan Corn on the Cob

I was supposed to have the Chinese chicken salad tonight, but I decided I wanted more beef. And boy
am I glad I did. This was a delicious meal.

I made one MAJOR mistake that turned out to be a great mistake. I made the Parmesan lemon sauce and used it as the salad dressing. I must have misread it and missed there was balsamic glaze for the dressing,. I do think it was a good mistake though. That sauce made an awesome dressing that I may make again some day. 

The steak, shocking I know, but I grilled it. No good reason to "fry" a steak. Turned out perfect. 

Corn on the cob, I don't do microwave. Boiling water for this girl. 

All in all, I'll repeat this meal and the mistake I made. 

Steak & Lemon-Parmesan Corn on the Cob
Recipe from Hello Fresh

Serves 2

  • About ¼ to ½ c grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 3 tablespoon Sour Cream
  • 2 tablespoon Mayonnaise 
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 tablespoon Fry Seasoning
  • 10 ounce Bavette Steak
  • 2 Corn on the Cob
  • Croutons – measure with your heart
  • 1 head Baby Lettuce
  • 4 ounce1 Mini Cucumber
  • 5-8 Heirloom Grape Tomatoes
  • 5 teaspoon Balsamic Glaze

Trim and discard root end from lettuce; wash and dry leaves thoroughly and chop into bite-size pieces. Halve tomatoes. Trim and quarter cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Gently crush croutons in their bag.

Put Parmesan in a medium bowl.  Add mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 tsp Fry Seasoning and juice from half the lemon to bowl; stir to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. (You'll use the rest of the Fry Seasoning in the next step.)

Pat steak dry with paper towels and season generously all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.

While steak cooks, wrap corn in damp paper towels. Microwave until cooked through and tender, 3-4 minutes. Let rest in microwave 1 minute. (Careful! Corn will be hot!) Set aside until ready to serve. 

In a large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and crushed croutons. 

Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Add a large drizzle of olive oil and juice from remaining lemon wedges. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Thinly slice steak against the grain.

Divide steak, corn, and salad between plates in separate sections. Spoon as much lemon-Parmesan sauce over corn as you like. Serve with any remaining lemon-Parmesan sauce on the side for dipping.
