Grilled Balsamic Steak Salad
A delightful and elegant salad featuring grilled steak, charred corn, creamy Gorgonzola, and a tangy balsamic glaze, perfect for summer gatherings or a satisfying weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
For the salad
- 1 lb Steak (flank or ribeye) Choose your favorite cut for optimal flavor.
- 2 ears Fresh corn Alternatively, frozen corn can be used.
- 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese Crumbled.
- 4 cups Mixed greens A variety of greens adds texture.
- 1/4 cup Balsamic glaze A sweet and tangy finish.
- 2 tbsp Olive oil For seasoning the steak.
- to taste Salt For seasoning.
- to taste Pepper For seasoning.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Rub the steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper for seasoning, then place it on the grill.
- Grill the steak to your desired doneness, approximately 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- As the steak cooks, place the corn directly on the grill. Roast until it's beautifully charred, turning occasionally.
- Once the steak is done, allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the mixed greens, sliced steak, roasted corn, and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
- Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze and toss everything together gently to combine.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the steak in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs a few hours before grilling. You can substitute steak with grilled chicken or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Keep the balsamic glaze on the side if storing leftovers to prevent greens from wilting.
