# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a medium-sized bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic powder, coarse salt, and black pepper. Place steak in a large ziplock bag, pour the marinade over the steak, seal the bag, and shake to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
02 -
In a small bowl, mix minced basil, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic. Set aside.
03 -
Preheat a cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill each side for approximately 10 minutes until grill marks form and kernels soften. Remove from heat, let cool, and slice kernels off the cob.
04 -
Remove steak from the fridge. Place on the preheated grill or grill pan. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes for rare to medium-rare doneness. Remove from heat and rest steak on a plate for 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
05 -
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
06 -
In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, endive lettuce, tomatoes, Gorgonzola, sliced corn, and red onion. Toss with half the vinaigrette and half the gremolata.
07 -
Place sliced steak on top of the salad. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette and gremolata as desired, and serve.
