Ingredients

2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 ears corn, shucked
½ cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 ¼ teaspoons ground pepper, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 pound sweet potatoes (2 medium), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch planks
1 pound top sirloin steak, trimmed
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup frozen lima beans, thawed
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

Directions

Bring 3/4 cup water to a boil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green beans; cover, reduce heat to medium-low and steam for 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Fill the now-empty skillet with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add corn to the boiling water; cover, turn off heat, and steam for 8 minutes. Drain the corn and transfer to a cutting board; let cool. Cut the kernels from the cobs and transfer to the bowl with the green beans.
Meanwhile, whisk yogurt, lime juice, onion, 1 Tbsp. oil, honey, garlic, and 1/4 tsp. each pepper and salt in a small bowl.
Combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and the remaining 1 tsp. ground pepper and 3/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
Preheat grill to medium-high (see Tip). Clean the grill grate with a long-handled wire brush.
Brush both sides of sweet potatoes with the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, then season with half of the spice mixture. Rub the remaining spice mixture all over steak. Grill the sweet potatoes until fork-tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Grill the steak to the desired degree of doneness (135 degrees F for medium-rare), 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a clean cutting board and let cool. Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Cut the steak into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Add the sweet potatoes to the bowl with the green beans and corn. Stir in tomatoes, lima beans, basil, cilantro, and jalapeño; toss with 1/2 cup of the yogurt dressing. Divide the salad among 4 plates. Divide the steak among the plates and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt dressing.

Tips

Equipment: Charcoal or gas grill

To make ahead: Cook green beans (Step 1) and corn (Step 2) up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate. Prepare dressing (Step 3) up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate. Grill steak and toss salad components together right before serving.

Tip: If you prefer to cook indoors, use a grill pan to cook the sweet potatoes and steak in Step 6.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
