Instructions
- In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the flank steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it’s well-coated.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill the steak for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, red onion, and pine nuts.
- Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the salad mixture.
- Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
- Arrange the sliced steak over the salad mixture.
- Top the salad with avocado slices.
- Drizzle lemon juice over the entire salad for added brightness.
- Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Season the salad with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately, ensuring each serving includes a bit of steak, greens, and toppings.
Notes
- Consider using a leaner cut like sirloin or tenderloin for a lighter option.
- Customize the salad with vegetables like bell peppers or fruits like strawberries.
- To make it dairy-free, omit feta cheese or use a dairy-free alternative like nutritional yeast.
