Roasting the Corn
- While the steak rests, grill or pan-roast the corn until slightly charred. Allow to cool, then slice the kernels off the cob.

Notes
Rest your steak after cooking for juicier slices. Allow corn to char for added flavor. Customize sauce with jalapeño or cumin. Prepare components upfront for freshness.
