Ingredients

    • For the steak:
    • 1 lb flank steak (or ribeye, sirloin)
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

 

    • For the salad:
    • 6 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or romaine)
    • 1 ear corn, grilled and cut off the cob
    • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
    • 1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
    • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted
    • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)

 

  • For the balsamic dressing:
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinate & Grill the Steak: Mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub over steak and rest 15–20 minutes. Grill 4–5 minutes per side, then rest 5 minutes and slice thinly against the grain.
  2. Grill the Corn: Brush corn with olive oil, grill 8–10 minutes until lightly charred, then slice off kernels.
  3. Make the Dressing: Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Salad: Toss greens, cherry tomatoes, onion, corn, and walnuts. Top with sliced steak, sprinkle Gorgonzola, and drizzle with dressing. Add avocado slices if desired.
  5. Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately while steak and corn are warm, garnished with extra cheese or nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Swap Gorgonzola with blue cheese or feta for a different twist.
  • Use chicken or shrimp instead of steak for variety.
  • Add roasted sweet potatoes or quinoa for a heartier salad.
  • Try sunflower or pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts.
  • For meal prep, store components separately and assemble before eating.
