Grilled Southwest Steaks with
Spicy Corn Salsa



Turn up the heat on prepared barbecue sauce with the addition of jalapeņo peppers! 
Not only is the sauce an easy tenderizing marinade for the lean and flavorful shoulder
steaks, it's also the base for the corn salsa.

Cook's Tip:  To broil, place steaks on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 10 to 13 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once.

Prep Time:
325-30 minutes

   

Ingredients:

2

boneless beef chuck shoulder steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick (8 to 10 ounces each)
1/2   cup prepared sweet barbecue sauce
3   tablespoons minced green onion
2   tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2   medium jalapeņo peppers, minced
1   cup frozen corn
     
   

Instructions:

  1. Combine barbecue sauce, onion, cilantro and peppers in small bowl. Cover and refrigerator 1/4 cup for salsa. Place beef steaks and remaining barbecue sauce mixture in food-safe plastic bag; turn steaks to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 14 to 17 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile combine corn and reserved 1/4 cup marinade in small bowl; season with salt, as desired. Set aside.
  4. Carve steaks into thin slices; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve with corn salsa.
