The Magic Behind a Flavor-Packed Steak Salad

The key to this salad’s appeal is the way it brings together steakhouse flavors in a lighter, refreshing form. The charred steak lays a rich, savory foundation, while Gorgonzola lends creaminess and depth. Fresh sweet corn delivers pops of summer sweetness and color, and an easy balsamic reduction ties everything together with lip-smacking zest. Add fresh greens and tomatoes, and you’ve got a salad that’s worthy of center stage.

Effortless Prep for the Ultimate Salad

Having the right tools on hand makes preparation a breeze, especially when working with fresh produce. Use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to swiftly dice bell peppers and onions for this salad, ensuring picture-perfect cuts and even flavor throughout. If you’re prepping ahead for a picnic or lunch, the Bentgo Salad Container keeps layers crisp and dressing separate until you’re ready to assemble.

Perfectly Grilled Steak: Tips for Success

A delicious steak salad starts with a well-cooked steak. For the best results, use a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking to gauge doneness—aim for medium rare to medium so the meat stays juicy. Always let the steak rest before slicing; this locks in flavor and helps achieve those perfect, thin slices for your salad.

Assembly Matters: Crisp, Creamy, and Colorful

Once your steak and veggies are ready, it’s time to build layers of flavor and texture. Arrange your greens on a platter, scatter with tomatoes, grilled corn, and peppers, then top with the still-warm steak slices. Dot with creamy Gorgonzola and drizzle generously with balsamic reduction. Use the YARRAMATE 16oz/470ml Oil Sprayer for Cooking to lightly coat the greens with extra virgin olive oil for a polished finish.

Serving Suggestions & Presentation Tips

Serve immediately for the ultimate salad experience: tender steak, crunchy vegetables, and melty Gorgonzola harmonize best when freshly assembled. For picnics or meal prep, transport your salad ingredients and dressing in separate containers, such as the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5, to prevent sogginess.

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Add steak, turning to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and grill 3–4 minutes per side for medium rare, or until desired doneness. Use the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking for best accuracy.
3. Transfer steak to a plate. Tent loosely with foil and let rest 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
4. While the steak rests, place balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by half and thickened, about 5–8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
5. Use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to prep onions and bell peppers quickly and evenly.
6. Grill or steam corn as desired. (If using a grill pan, quick-cook the corn kernels for charred flavor.)
7. On a large platter, layer greens, tomatoes, corn, onions, and bell pepper. Top with steak slices and generous crumbles of Gorgonzola.
8. Drizzle the salad with balsamic reduction and a spritz from the YARRAMATE 16oz/470ml Oil Sprayer for Cooking. Finish with cracked pepper and extra fresh herbs.
9. If packing for later, store components in separate Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers and assemble just before serving.
