Instructions
 

Marinate Steak

  • In a bowl, mix together ingredients for the marinade. Place steak in a large ziplock bag or large bowl. Pour marinade on top of steak and let marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer the better!

Make Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients for the balsamic vinaigrette. Cover and set aside until ready to use.

Make The Gremolata

  • In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the gremolata. Cover and set aside until ready to use.

Grill Steak And Corn

  • When your steak is ready to be grilled, turn grill on to medium/high heat. Place steak on heated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5-7 minutes for medium or 8-10 minutes for medium-well.
  • Drizzle the husked cob of corn with olive oil and place on grill. Making sure to turn every 2-3 minutes to get nice grill marks on each side. When corn has enough grill marks, take off grill and set aside.

Prepare Salad

  • When steak is done, take off the grill and place on a plate, cover with foil and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Cut corn off the cob by holding corn the long way on a plate and slicing down.
  • In a large bowl, mix your lettuce together with half of the halved tomatoes, red onion, gorgonzola crumbles, gremolata and corn.
  • Pour half of the balsamic vinaigrette in bowl with salad. Mix everthing together until everything is nice and coated.
  • Place salad on a large platter or bowl for serving. Cut steak into bite size pieces, going against the grain. Place steak on top of salad, along with the remaining tomatoes, red onion, gorgonzola crumbles, gremolata, corn and balsamic vinaigrette.
  • Enjoy!
