GRILLED BONE-IN RIB-EYE WITH GRILLED CORN AND TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Get ready: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about a half hour before you are ready to cook. Preheat the grill on high.
• The steak: Lightly oil a kitchen towel with canola oil and oil the grill. Season the steaks generously on both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Place a cast-iron skillet to heat on the side of the grill. Place the steaks directly on the hottest part of the grill and char 3 to 4 minutes. Rotate the steaks a half turn and char another 3 minutes. Flip the steaks and char another 3 minutes on their second side. Move to indirect heat and cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes for medium rare. Put the steaks on a tray with a fitted rack to rest.
• The quick shallot sauce: Add the butter and shallots to the skillet with a splash of water and cook until the shallots are translucent, 1 minute. Add the mustard, lemon zest and juice and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and taste for seasoning. Add water if you would like the sauce to be a bit thinner. Place the steaks on a serving platter, spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with sea salt.
• Grill the vegetables: Lightly oil a kitchen towel with canola oil and oil the grill. Brush the corn, tomatoes and scallions with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Arrange everything in a single layer on the hottest part of the grill and rotate every few minutes so they are charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Leave the corn on a little longer than the tomatoes and scallions. Remove from the grill and cool.
• The salsa: In a large serving bowl, whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil with the chili powder, balsamic, lime zest and juice and honey with a pinch of kosher salt. Remove the corn kernels from the cobs, cut the tomatoes into small cubes and cut the scallions into 1/2-inch slices. Mix everything together with the cilantro. Taste for seasoning.
