Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 heads endive lettuce, halved and roughly chopped
  • 6 cups mixed spring greens
  • 1 corn on the cob, husk removed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling corn
  • 2 tablespoons basil leaves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (for dressing)
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil (for dressing)
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard (for dressing)
  • Dash of salt and fresh ground black pepper (for dressing)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak by combining balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk and pour over steak. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Grill the corn on medium-high heat, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt, until tender (about 10-12 minutes).
  3. Grill the steak for about 5-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  4. Prepare the dressing by whisking balsamic vinegar, remaining olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Assemble the salad by combining spring greens and endive. Top with red onion, cherry tomatoes, grilled corn, and Gorgonzola cheese. Add sliced steak on top.
  6. Serve with dressing drizzled over the top, and garnish with minced basil and parsley.

Notes

Marinate the steak longer for deeper flavors. Use a grill pan or cast-iron skillet if you don’t have a grill.
