Description
A savory salad featuring grilled steak over mixed greens, roasted corn, and creamy gorgonzola, drizzled with balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye recommended)
- 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, baby spinach, spring mix)
- 1 cup sweet corn, roasted or grilled (about 1 medium ear or frozen thawed)
- 1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (about 56 g)
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze (or thickened balsamic reduction)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling; plus extra if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for preferred doneness). Grill corn alongside until slightly charred, about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let rest for 5–7 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain. Remove corn kernels from the cob and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, grilled corn, and crumbled gorgonzola.
- Top the salad with sliced steak and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
Notes
For a lighter salad, reduce cheese or substitute with feta or Parmesan. Ensure steak is ideally rested before slicing.
