Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • 2 heads endive lettuce
  • 6 cups mixed spring greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 corn on the cob
  • 2 tbsp basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 oz gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 13/16 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp coarse salt
  • dash extra salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • grill or grill pan
  • large salad bowl
  • small mixing bowl
  • whisk or fork
  • tongs
  • sharp knife and cutting board
  • zester or microplane

Method
 

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Pat steak dry, season with garlic powder, coarse salt, and black pepper.
  2. Grill steak 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill corn alongside, turning until lightly charred. Rest steak before slicing against the grain.
  3. Cut corn kernels off cob. In a large bowl, combine spring greens, endive, cherry tomatoes, red onion, parsley, basil, and lemon zest.
  4. Whisk balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify.
  5. Toss salad with dressing, then top with sliced steak.
  6. Sprinkle grilled corn and crumbled gorgonzola over salad. Serve immediately.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. Store steak and dressing separately from greens for up to 2 days. Do not freeze. To reheat, gently warm steak slices before serving. For variation, swap steak with chicken or halloumi, or try feta instead of gorgonzola.
