A refreshing summer salad combining grilled steak, charred corn, peppery greens, juicy tomatoes, red onion, crumbled Gorgonzola, and a bright gremolata, all topped with a tangy balsamic vinaigrette.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp coarse salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 heads endive, roughly chopped
  • 6 cups mixed spring greens
  • 1 ear corn, husk removed
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (for the corn)
  • 2 Tbsp basil, minced
  • 2 Tbsp parsley, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and fresh black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the marinade ingredients and marinate the steak in a ziplock bag for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
  2. Combine basil, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic in a bowl for the gremolata and set aside.
  3. Drizzle corn with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning to char evenly. Cool and slice kernels off the cob.
  4. Grill steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  5. Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl.
  6. Toss half the vinaigrette and half the gremolata with greens, endive, tomatoes, corn, Gorgonzola, and red onion in a large bowl.
  7. Top with sliced steak and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette and gremolata before serving.

Notes

  • Grill steak and corn ahead for easy assembly.
  • Use different greens or cheeses for variation.
  • Frozen fire-roasted corn can be a substitute.
  • Mix gremolata into the vinaigrette for a smoother finish.
  • Add honey or maple syrup to the dressing for sweetness.
