Grilled Flank Steak with Summer Corn Salsa

Summer is in full swing and this recipe resembles the freshness that summer brings! Grilled steak, either on the barbecue or in the pan, is perfect for a weekday or weekend meal. In this recipe, we use flank steak, a quick cook and lean cut of meat. To enhance the dish, we topped the steak with a summer corn salsa which also adds a splash of colour. 

Enjoy this dish with a side of rice or potato salad, or if you want a less heavy meal, substitute the carbs for a nice veggie!
