In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt ½ tablespoon butter. When the butter begins to sizzle, add the bacon and stir occasionally until the fat has rendered, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and a pinch of salt and stir for 1 minute to warm.
Add the vinegar, honey, and tomatoes and stir until the corn is glazed and the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the scallions. Taste and use salt to adjust the seasoning. Set aside.

Remove the steak from the pan and set aside on a cutting board to rest, topped with the garlic and thyme.
