Method
- Mix 1 tsp chipotle paste with the ground cumin and oil. Rub over the steaks and set aside for 20 mins to marinate.
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high. Boil the corn for 5 mins; drain and put on a baking tray. Grill for 4-5 mins, turning halfway. Add the spring onions and grill for another 4-5 mins until charred and tender. Set aside.
- Heat a frying pan or griddle pan over a high heat and fry the steaks for 2 mins each side (for medium- rare). Leave to rest for 10 mins before slicing.
- When cool enough to handle, roughly chop the spring onions and slice the corn kernels from the cobs. Transfer to a large bowl with the tomatoes, chilli, red onion, garlic, lime juice, sugar, chopped coriander, black beans and the remaining chipotle paste.
- Divide the lettuce and avocado between plates and top with the charred corn salad and sliced steak. Crumble over the cheese and scatter with the coriander leaves to serve.
