Ingredients

– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
– ½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Instructions
Creating the Balsamic Steak Gorgonzola Salad with Grilled Corn is simple when you follow these clear steps:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill it on medium heat until charred, about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool, then cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, sauté it in a skillet until warmed.
3. Cook the Steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
4. Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and grilled corn together.
5. Add the Steak: Arrange the sliced steak over the salad.
6. Top with Gorgonzola: Sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese on top of the salad.
7. Finishing Touches: Drizzle additional balsamic dressing if desired and garnish with chopped parsley and diced avocado.
8. Enjoy!: Serve immediately, either warm or at room temperature.
By following these steps, you’ll create an amazing Balsamic Steak Gorgonzola Salad with Grilled Corn that will wow anyone who tries it.
