Ingredients

Scale

For the Marinade

  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp coarse salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Salad

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 heads endive lettuce, chopped
  • 6 cups mixed spring greens
  • 1 corn on the cob, husk removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Gremolata

  • 2 tbsp basil, minced
  • 2 tbsp parsley, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

For the Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all marinade ingredients. Place steak in a zip-top bag, add marinade, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Combine basil, parsley, garlic, and lemon zest in a small bowl to make the gremolata.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  4. Drizzle corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until lightly charred. Let cool and slice kernels from the cob.
  5. Grill steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness.
  6. Transfer steak to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  7. Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl.
  8. In a large bowl, combine spring greens, endive, tomatoes, onion, grilled corn, and Gorgonzola.
  9. Toss salad with half the vinaigrette and half the gremolata.
  10. Arrange sliced steak over the salad and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette and gremolata before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the steak for up to 4 hours.

Goat cheese, feta, blue cheese, or smoked Gouda can be substituted for Gorgonzola.

Fresh grilled corn provides the best flavor, but frozen or canned corn can be used in a pinch.

Add avocado for extra creaminess.

Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
