Ingredients
Scale
- For the Steak:
- 1 pound Sirloin Steak (or flank steak, chicken)
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (or soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or neutral oil)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (or yellow mustard)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (or fresh garlic)
- 1 teaspoon Coarse Salt (or sea salt)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- For the Salad:
- 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
- 1/2 cup Red Onion (or shallots)
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola Cheese (or feta cheese)
- 2 cups Endive Lettuce (or arugula, romaine)
- 4 cups Mixed Spring Greens
- 2 ears Corn on the Cob (or canned corn)
- For the Gremolata & Dressing:
- 1/4 cup Gremolata (Basil, Parsley, Garlic, Lemon Zest)
- 1/3 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette
Instructions
- Marinate Steak: In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sirloin steak, ensuring it’s well-coated, and let marinate for 30 minutes.
- Prepare Corn: Lightly brush the corn on the cob with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, until slightly charred and tender, about 10 minutes.
- Grill Steak: Preheat grill to high heat. Place marinated steak on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Let steak rest for a few minutes after grilling.
- Make Gremolata: In a small bowl, mix together minced basil, parsley, garlic, and lemon zest.
- Make Vinaigrette: In another bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble Salad: Slice the rested steak into strips. In a large salad bowl, combine grilled corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, mixed greens, and endive. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese and gremolata. Toss gently to combine.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Keep vinaigrette and gremolata separate from the salad until serving to maintain freshness.
