📝 Preparation Steps
1
STEAK. Click on “marinated flank steak” in the ingredients. You can use the “jump to recipe" button at the top of the page to go directly to the recipe. Marinate steak according to recipe directions. Grill steak after the salad is assembled and you are ready to serve; best served slightly warm.
2
DRESSING. Add the Blue Cheese Dressing ingredients to jar or bowl and whisk to combine. Add additional milk as needed. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Best if chilled at least one hour. Dressing can be made up to one week in advance.
3
CROUTONS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray or use a nonstick mat. Add cubed bread to the baking sheet and drizzled with olive oil then sprinkle with spices; toss until evenly coated. Spread bread into an even layer and bake for approximately ⏱️ 12-15 minutes or until golden.
4
CORN: Grilling the corn is optional but adds a delicious smokiness. You may also cut the corn straight off of the cob and use raw in the salad.
5
Lightly brush each ear of corn with olive oil, and sprinkle each side with salt and pepper. Grease and heat grill to high heat. Once hot, add corn and close the lid. Cook ⏱️ 2-3 minutes on each side, rotating the corn until all of the sides are lightly charred, about ⏱️ 10-12 minutes, closing the lid in between rotations. Set the corn aside and allow to cool enough to handle. Cut the kernels off of the cob.
6
ASSEMBLE: Add chopped lettuce to a large salad bowl followed by all remaining salad ingredients except croutons. Season with freshly cracked salt and pepper. Top with sliced or chopped steak. You can either drizzle with dressing and toss OR drizzle dressing over individual plates. Garnish individual servings with croutons. Serve immediately.
