Ingredients
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
- 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
- ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Dijon Mustard

Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, garlic powder, coarse salt, and black pepper. Slip your sirloin steak in, making sure it’s well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Prepare the Corn: Fire up your grill over medium heat. Drizzle the corn with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. Let cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob.
- Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and place on the grill for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Create the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon zest, and a dash of salt and pepper. Adjust for taste.
- Assemble Your Salad: In a large bowl, combine mixed spring greens and chopped endive. Toss in halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, grilled corn, and crumbled Gorgonzola. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the rested steak against the grain and lay atop the salad. Sprinkle with minced basil and parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
For a dairy-free option, skip the Gorgonzola or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
