Ingredients
  

For the salad
  • 1 lb steak Use your preferred cut (e.g., sirloin, ribeye)
  • 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled Can substitute with feta or goat cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Marinate the steak in balsamic vinaigrette for at least 30 minutes.
Grilling
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill the corn on the cob for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender. Let it cool, then cut the kernels off the cob.
  3. Grill the marinated steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.
Assembly

  2. Drizzle with more balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
  3. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful salad!

Notes

For best results, use a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked steak, aiming for about 135°F for medium-rare. If you're short on time, consider using pre-cooked steak or rotisserie chicken. This salad pairs beautifully with a light white wine or sparkling water.
