1 lb juicy grilled steak (flank, skirt, or sirloin) Use flank or skirt for marination; sirloin is more forgiving.
2 cups sweet roasted corn (fresh or frozen) Fresh summer corn provides the best flavor.
4 oz tangy gorgonzola cheese (crumbled) Can swap with feta or goat cheese for milder flavor.
6 cups fresh greens (arugula or mixed salad greens) Dress delicately if using baby greens.
½ cup balsamic glaze Store-bought or homemade.
2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred) Use for grilling and drizzling.
1 tsp salt (kosher or sea salt) Adjust to taste.
½ tsp pepper (freshly ground) Adjust to taste.

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the steak generously with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes under loose foil before slicing to ensure juiciness.

While the steak rests, roast the corn until lightly browned. For grilling, husk the corn and grill for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Alternatively, toss kernels with olive oil and salt, then roast at 425°F for 12–15 minutes, or skillet fry frozen kernels in a hot dry cast-iron skillet.

In a large bowl, combine fresh greens, roasted corn, and crumbled gorgonzola. Add the cheese last to maintain its texture.
Slice the grilled steak against the grain and add to the salad.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and olive oil, seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

For added flavor, marinate the steak briefly. Optional toasted nuts or charred onion can enhance the salad further.
