A delicious salad and entree all in one complete dish. Steak and fresh corn on the cob, lightly grilled and tossed with an aromatic herb dressing creates a main course that's a great change of pace.

Grilled Steak and Vegetable Salad

1 1/2 pounds beef flank steak, fat trimmed, scored
1 medium sweet onion, cut into small wedges
6 medium Italian plum tomatoes, cut into wedges
4 ears corn, cooked, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium green pepper, sliced

Fresh Herb Vinaigrette (recipe follows)

1. Grill steak over medium-hot coals to desired degree of doneness, about 20 minutes for medium, turning steak halfway through cooking time.
2. Slice steak, diagonally across grain, into scant 1/4-inch slices. Combine sliced meat and vegetables in shallow serving bowl. Pour dressing over and toss. Serve immediately or refrigerate several hours and serve chilled.

Makes 6 servings

Note: If desired, steak can be broiled rather than grilled for the same amount of time.
