Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup torn cilantro
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 jalapenos, seeded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
Kosher salt
3 scallions, sliced
1 lime, juiced
Neutral oil, for oiling the grill grates
Warm tortillas, for serving
Suggested toppings: guacamole, sour cream, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, sliced pickled jalapenos, salsa, shredded pepper Jack cheese

Steps:

  • For the sweet and spicy marinade: Put the olive oil, cilantro, honey, lime juice, thyme, garlic, jalapenos, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor and pulse to puree. Transfer the mixture to a nonreactive container, add the flank steak and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before cooking
  • For the corn and mushrooms: Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the butter, cumin, corn kernels, poblano and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the corn is light brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the scallions and lime juice and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with oil.
  • Grill the flank steak until marked, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice.
  • Serve with the warm tortillas and toppings.
