1 1/4 pounds flank steak

6 cloves peeled garlic, divided (chop 2 cloves)

3 chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce (canned), divided

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, divided

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, divided

1 cup honey

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 cups fresh corn kernels

2 cups diced tomato

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Preparation
