1 lb skirt steak (or Flank Steak)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 cups romaine lettuce
2 cups corn kernels
1 (15 ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1/4 cup green onion (chopped)
2 cups roma tomatoes (chopped)

1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix the onion powder, salt, cumin and cayenne pepper; rub mixture onto both sides of steak. Let that sit at room temp while you prepare the other items.
  • Chop romaine lettuce and separate into 4 bowls. Rinse corn and divide into the 4 bowls of lettuce. Drain and rinse black beans and divide into the 4 bowls. Chop green onions and divide into the 4 bowls. Chop Roma tomatoes and divide into the 4 bowls.
  • Now make the dressing. Mix sour cream and butter milk in a bowl with the garlic salt, white wine vinegar, parsley, black pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper. Put it in the refrigerator while you prepare the steak.
  • Heat olive oil on high heat in iron skillet until very hot. Place steak in hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side or to medium rare. Remove steak to cutting board and let rest for a couple of minutes while you remove the dressing from the refrigerator. Now cut thin strips of meat and place as a crown on the bowls of salad.
  • Spoon a bit of dressing over steak and salad and serve immediately.
