- 1 cup half-and-half
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 2 pieces
- 2 teaspoons blackening or Cajun seasoning
- 4 cups mixed greens

Directions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.

Quick Tip
Fresh corn is the best, but thawed frozen kernels also work in this recipe. To achieve a similar creamy consistency, add 1
tablespoon flour to the softened onions and cook for 1 minute before adding the frozen corn and half-and-half.
