In a large ziplock bag, add the marinade ingredients. Seal the bag and squish to combine the ingredients. Add the steak and marinate according to recipe instructions.
1 Best Steak Marinade, 1 Skirt Steak
Grill the Steak according to the recipe, set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, heat a gas burner or grill to high heat. Dry off the corn and char on each side. Set aside until cool enough to touch and remove all corn kernels to a bowl.
1 ½ Ears Yellow Sweet Corn
Set a pan over the burner and heat over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and add the zucchini once hot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and char each side for about 2 minutes per side or until char marks appear. Set aside.
1 Zucchini
In a large bowl, add the greens, endive, veggies, herbs, and lemon zest. Add a pinch of salt and squeeze of the lemon if desired. Toss together. If desired, add some of the dressing and toss again or allow your guests to completely dress themselves.

Notes
I usually only find Hanger Steak at a butcher shop, not a grocery store. If you can’t find it, try using skirt steak, flank steak, or even a New York strip steak or ribeye steak. They're all delicious! And if you really want to treat yourself, toss a filet mignon or two in the marinade!For a sweeter marinade use 1/3 cup brown sugar.Grilled steak can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 days.
