- Remove the steaks from the marinade and season well with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Grill approximately 4 minutes on each side for medium rare.
- Let rest while you finish the corn salad.
- Drain the corn.
- Add the olive oil and lime juice and let sit 5 minutes, then add the bell peppers, shallot, tarragon, parsley, Amber spice mix and 1 tablespoon of the hottish sauce.
- Season the steaks with a little flaky sea salt.
- Serve with the corn salad and a little hottish sauce on the side.
