Ingredients
  

1 pound flank steak

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, romaine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)

1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

    Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and brush it lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt. Grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill, allow it to cool slightly, and then cut the kernels off the cob.

      Grill the Steak: Preheat the grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

        Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, grilled corn kernels, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, chopped basil, and red onion. Toss gently to combine.

          Add the Steak: Slice the rested steak and arrange it on top of the salad mixture. Drizzle any remaining dressing from the marinade on top and add a bit more olive oil or balsamic vinegar if desired.

            Serve: Divide the salad into bowls or plates and enjoy your delicious Balsamic Steak Gorgonzola Salad while fresh!
