Instructions

Step 1: Rub 2 (10 oz each) ribeye steaks evenly on both sides with 2 tbsp mesquite seasoning, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Step 2: While steaks rest, combine 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 1 minced seeded jalapeño, 1/2 cup corn kernels, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro in a bowl. Stir gently and set aside to marinate.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 450°F). Grill the ribeye steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness, until nicely charred and juicy.
Step 4: Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve each steak topped generously with the fresh southwest salsa.
