For Corn: Mix all ingredients together. Fold up edges on foil. Poke small holes with a toothpick. Lay corn on foil. At this point, you can either place foil in top rack of owen and turn your setting to "broil" and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, or you can lay foil directly on gas broiler and roast for 7-10 minutes. (I like this way much better because it imparts a nice smoky roasted flavor to the corn.)
For Pecans: On a 9x12 inch cookie sheet spread butter evenly. Spread pecans on butter. Sprinkle salt and parmesan over pecans. Toast in a preheated 375 degree oven for approximately 12-15 minutes until cheese starts to turn a light brown. Take out of oven and cool for a least 15 minutes.Chop cheese pecans coursely.
For Flank: On a preheated gas broiler, cook flank strips to desired doneness. Set aside and keep warm.
For Dressing: Mix all ingredients in a food processor or blender until emulsified (creamy).
To Build The Salad: In a large bowl, add salad mix, corn and 1/2 the pecans. Toss until mixed well. Place salad mix on serving plate. Lay flank steak strips on top of salad mix. Drizzle dressing over salad. Sprinkle remaining pecans over salad.
