Instructions
Creating the Ultimate Grilled Balsamic Steak Salad is a breeze with these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Steak: Place the ribeye steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the fridge.
3. Prepare Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.
4. Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Place it on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.
5. Let It Rest: Once grilled to your liking, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This step ensures the juices remain in the meat.
6. Prepare Salad Base: While the steak is resting, in a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and sweet corn.
7. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
8. Assemble the Salad: Add the sliced steak atop the greens and vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled gorgonzola over the top.
9. Drizzle Dressing: If desired, drizzle any leftover marinade or a simple balsamic vinaigrette over the salad before serving.
10. Serve Immediately: Plate the salad and serve fresh, garnishing with herbs if desired.
