Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes until smoking hot. Rub 2 ribeye steaks on both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
2. Step 2: Sear steaks in the hot skillet for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
3. Step 3: While steaks rest, heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until kernels are charred and fragrant.
4. Step 4: In a large bowl, combine charred corn, 1 cup rinsed black beans, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
5. Step 5: Whisk together 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, and 1 tsp honey, then pour over the salad. Toss gently to combine.
6. Step 6: Plate the rested ribeye steaks alongside a generous scoop of the charred corn and black bean salad and serve immediately.
