So pretty much all of the US is grilling out today. To commemorate, we had this for lunch today. Happy birthday America!

Chipotle Flank Steak w/ Corn Salsa
Adapted from Grill Summer 2009, Serves 4

Ingredients:
- 1 flank steak
- 2 green onions
- 2 cups of cooked corn
- 1 cup of your favorite salsa
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper

1) Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2) Slice the green onions and save the dark green parts for garnish later on.
3) Add a little olive oil to a pan and add the corn and green onions. Cook over medium-low or medium heat for about 4 minutes.
4) Add in the salsa and cook for another 2 - 3 minutes.
5) Turn off the heat and leave aside until needed.
6) Combine all of the spices and rub on the flank steak. Make sure to salt and pepper well on both sides also.
7) Grill the flank steak over medium-high heat for about 9 minutes turning once in the process for medium-rare. Go a couple more minutes for medium or to desired doneness. (however, steak after medium isn't worth eating). Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
8) Stir in the reserved green onions to the corn salsa.
9) Slice the steak across the grain and serve with the corn salsa and some tortilla chips.
