Add 1 more teaspoon of oil to pan and saute corn over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until golden, then transfer to a separate clean plate. Pour remaining oil into pan, and saute seasoned steak over high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring and turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a clean cutting board and chop into thin strips.
