Ingredients

  • For the Salad:
  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 ear corn, husked
  • 6 cups mixed spring greens
  • 2 heads endive lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • For the Balsamic Vinaigrette:
  • 5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp coarse salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper; grill 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 5–10 minutes, then slice. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until charred. Cut kernels off cob.
  2. Whisk together vinegar, Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Slowly stream in olive oil, whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, toss spring greens, endive, tomatoes, onion, and corn with vinaigrette.
  4. Arrange sliced steak over salad. Sprinkle with Gorgonzola, basil, parsley, and more lemon zest. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Sub Gorgonzola with feta, goat cheese, or Parmesan.
  • Try grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu instead of steak.
  • Add-ins like avocado, peaches, walnuts, or roasted peppers work well.
  • Baby spinach or arugula can replace spring greens.
