Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb ButcherBox steak tips
- 1-2 Roma tomatoes (one large or two medium)
- 1 bell pepper (any color)
- 2 whole corn cobs
- 1-2 jalapeño or serrano chiles (depending on desired spiciness)
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butcherbox Anything seasoning
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thoroughly pat the steak tips dry with paper towels
- Season with Butcher’s Anything seasoning. Let's sit at room temperature.
- Cut the ends off the corn, brush with olive oil, and season lightly.
- Brush the bell pepper with olive oil as well.
- Score the bottom of the tomato with a shallow “X” and remove the stem.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil to blanch the tomato.
How to Cook
- Heat a pan over high heat. Roast the corn and bell pepper, turning them occasionally until charred on all sides.
- While they roast, blanch the tomato in boiling water for 15–30 seconds, then transfer it to an ice bath. Let sit for a few minutes.
- De-seed and finely dice the jalapeño or serrano chile. Chop the cilantro
- Check the roasted vegetables. If the pepper is fully charred, transfer it to a covered bowl to steam (this loosens the skin). Set corn aside when done.
- Peel, de-seed, and dice the tomato.
- Peel, de-seed, and julienne the roasted bell pepper.
- Remove the corn kernels by standing each cob upright and slicing down carefully.
- In a bowl, combine the cilantro, chile, tomato, bell pepper, and corn. Add lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and season to taste.
- Preheat a large cast-iron (or oven-safe) skillet over medium-high heat. Add your preferred high-heat cooking fat.
- Sear steak tips for 1 minute per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 3–5 minutes, or until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, warm up your tortillas in a dry pan or directly over a flame for a few seconds on each side.
- To serve, place steak slices in the tortilla and top with your roasted corn pico.
