Ingredients
  

  • Best Steak Marinade, see note
  • Skirt Steak
  • 1 ½ Ears Yellow Sweet Corn, boiled for 5-7 minutes
  • 1 Zucchini, sliced and quartered
  • 6 Cups Spring Mix
  • 1 Cup Arugula
  • 2 Heads Endive, core removed and roughly chopped
  • 2 Cups Petit Medley Grape Tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 Stalk Green Onions, sliced
  • 1 Shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons Basil, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Parsley, minced
  • 1 Clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • Crack of Black Pepper
  • 4 Ounces Gorgonzola Cheese
  • 1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/3 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1 Clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Pinch Kosher Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the steak: In a large ziplock bag, combine the marinade ingredients, seal the bag, and squish to mix. Add the steak and marinate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Grill the steak: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak to your desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  • Char the corn: Heat your grill or gas burner to high. Dry off the boiled corn and char on each side until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Cool and remove kernels for later.
  • Cook the zucchini: Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add zucchini slices, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until charred, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Create the salad base: In a large bowl, toss the spring mix, arugula, endive, tomatoes, green onions, shallot, basil, parsley, and lemon zest. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
  • Prepare the dressing: In a mason jar, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper. Shake well to emulsify.
  • Assemble and serve: On a large platter, layer the greens and veggies. Top with sliced steak and sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese. Serve with dressing on the side or drizzled over the top.
