Ingredients
– 1 lb flank steak
– 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, or your favorite mix)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup grilled corn kernels (fresh or thawed from frozen)
– ⅓ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
– ¼ cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh herbs (basil or parsley), for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Balsamic Steak Gorgonzola Salad with Grilled Corn:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coat the flank steak with this mixture. For added flavor, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Grill the Corn: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. If using fresh corn, grill the cobs until slightly charred (about 10-15 minutes), turning occasionally. If using frozen corn, simply sauté in a pan until heated through.
3. Cook the Steak: Grill the marinated flank steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is generally best). Remove from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4. Prepare Salad Greens: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and halved cherry tomatoes.
5. Add Grilled Corn: Once the corn is grilled and cooled slightly, add it to the salad bowl.
6. Slice the Steak: Thinly slice the rested flank steak against the grain and add it to the salad.
7. Top with Gorgonzola: Sprinkle crumbled Gorgonzola cheese over the salad mixture.
8. Dress the Salad: Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette dressing over salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring even coverage.
9. Garnish: If desired, chop fresh herbs and sprinkle over the salad for a burst of flavor.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the salad while fresh and vibrant for the best taste experience.
By completing these steps, you’re guaranteed a bowl of gorgeous, invigorating salad that will impress your guests or make dinner a delightful treat!
