  • Season the Steak: Combine chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic, and onion powder. Rub steak with olive oil, then coat with spice mixture.
  • Broil: Place steak and corn on the baking sheet. Broil for about 12 minutes for medium rare, flipping steak halfway through (that is also when you need to add your steamed corn), (about 130°F for medium-rare). Let steak rest before slicing.

  • Check the steaks + add corn: Pull out cookie sheet and flip steaks. Pour corn onto baking sheet and spread over half of the pan.
  • Make the Street Corn: Remove dressing from refigerator and add in the roasted corn. Toss to coat and place back into fridge.
  • Assemble Tacos: Slice steak thinly. Warm tortillas and fill with steak, street corn, and your favorite toppings.
  • Enjoy the perfect combination of smoky steak and sweet corn in these delicious tacos!

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the steak in the spice mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
