Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Method
 

  1. Season the flank steak with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
  3. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  4. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. While the steak is resting, grill the corn kernels in a pan or on the grill until slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. If using frozen corn, sauté in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, grilled corn, and sliced steak.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and extra virgin olive oil until well combined.
  9. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  10. Top with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and serve immediately.
