Instructions
Creating the Ultimate Grilled Balsamic Steak Salad with Creamy Gorgonzola & Sweet Corn is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
3. Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.
4. Let it Rest: Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
5. Prepare the Salad Base: While the steak is resting, in a large bowl, add salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and sweet corn.
6. Add Red Onion: Gently toss in the thinly sliced red onion for an extra flavor boost.
7. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the grilled steak into thin strips and add to the salad bowl.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the creamy Gorgonzola over the salad, ensuring an even distribution.
9. Drizzle Dressing: Optionally, drizzle additional balsamic vinegar or dressing on top for added flavor.
10. Garnish and Serve: Finish your dish with fresh herbs for an aromatic touch, and serve immediately!
