Ingredients

  • 12 ounce boneless beef sirloin steak, trimmed

  • Salt and black pepper

  • 1 cup dried multigrain penne pasta

  • 2 ears of corn, husks and silks removed,* or 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil

  • 2 tablespoon finely shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 3 tablespoon white wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Lightly sprinkle both sides of meat with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat 12 to 15 minutes for medium-rare (145°F), turning once. Let stand 5 minutes. Thinly slice meat across the grain into bite-size strips.

  2. Meanwhile, in a 4- to 5-qt. Dutch oven cook pasta according to package directions, adding corn the last 3 minutes. If using ears of corn, transfer to a cutting board and cool until easy to handle. Drain pasta (including whole kernel corn, if using). Rinse with cold water; drain again.

  3. Using a sharp knife, cut corn from cobs, leaving corn in planks. In a large bowl combine pasta, meat, tomatoes, basil, and cheese.

  4. For dressing, in a screw-top jar combine remaining ingredients. Cover and shake well. Pour over pasta mixture; toss gently to coat. Gently fold in corn planks or top servings with corn planks. If desired, sprinkle with additional cheese.

*Grilled Corn

Peel back husks and remove silks from corn; replace husks. Place ears in a bowl or pan and cover with water. Soak 1 hour; drain. Tie husks at the top with 100%-cotton string. Grill, covered, over medium heat 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally. Peel back husks, cool, and cut corn from cobs in planks.
