Instructions
- In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. Add the sirloin steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

- In a large salad bowl, combine mixed spring greens, endive, cherry tomatoes, red onion, grilled corn, and Gorgonzola cheese.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the balsamic vinaigrette. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently.
- Top the salad with the sliced steak and garnish with gremolata made from basil, parsley, garlic, and lemon zest.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the steak marinate longer if time allows. This salad can also be served as a main or a side dish.
