Start by preparing the marinade with vegetable oil, lime juice, water, beef stock, salt, black pepper, granulated onion, granulated garlic, paprika, and fresh thyme.

Whisk the marinade ingredients together.

Portion the skirt steak into four sections and place them in a bag with the marinade.

Let the steak marinate for up to 6 hours.

While the steak is marinating, prepare the corn and tomato salad using store-bought Italian dressing, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Add grilled and blanched corn and diced tomatoes to the salad mixture and stir.

Grill the corn until it gets a little char, then chop it up and add it to the salad.

Preheat the grill and oil the grates with a rag dipped in oil.

Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill, aiming for nice grill marks.

Grill the steak for about 5 minutes on each side until it reaches medium rare, checking for doneness with a meat thermometer.

Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes after grilling.

Slice the steak against the grain for tenderness.

Plate the sliced steak with the corn and tomato salad.
