The star of this dish is a punchy corn and roasted pepper salad that combines crunchy raw corn, quickly sauteed corn, chopped olives and sherry vinegar. We think this is a great match for a pan roasted, thinly sliced strip steak.
Add all but 3/4 cup corn kernels to a medium bowl along with the piquillos, parsley, olives, 1 tablespoon vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss the corn salad well and set aside while cooking the steaks.
Season the steaks well on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Carefully add the steaks and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest.
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the reserved 3/4 cup corn kernels and the garlic. Cook, scraping up some of the browned bits in the pan, until the corn is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the corn and any remaining oil to the bowl with the corn salad. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar to the skillet and scrape up more of the browned bits. Pour into the corn salad and toss well.
Divide the corn salad among plates. Slice the steaks against the grain and add to the plates. Sprinkle with parsley.
