Instructions
Crafting Balsamic Steak Gorgonzola Salad with Grilled Corn is as easy as following these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Reserve some for dressing the salad later.
2. Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the steak. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Grill the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill the corn cobs on medium heat until they are charred, approximately 10 minutes. If using frozen corn, sauté in a pan over medium heat until heated through and slightly charred.
4. Cook the Steak: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired doneness.
5. Slice the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain.
6. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, grilled corn, and sliced steak.
7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the reserved marinade over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
8. Add Gorgonzola: Sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese over the top before serving.
Following these steps will guide you to create an incredible salad that bursts with flavor.
