  • For steak:
  • Combine first 4 ingredients in small bowl. Spread spice paste over both sides of steaks. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours.
  • For Assembly:
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to cutting board and let stand 5 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.

I thought the corn salsa was a bit bland. I would add some more spices next time.

The chipotle dressing is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed the salad.
