Instructions

In a medium bowl, stir together all marinade ingredients. Place sirloin steak in a large ziplock bag. Pour marinade over steak, seal the bag tightly, and shake well to coat. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine minced basil, parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic. Set this mixture aside while you prepare other components.
Preheat your cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle corn on the cob with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using tongs, place corn on the heated grill. Cook each side until grill marks form on kernels and they are softened (about 10 minutes total). Remove from heat when done; let cool before slicing kernels off the cob.
Take steak out from fridge after marinating. Place it on preheated grill or grill pan. Grill each side for about 4–5 minutes for rare to medium rare doneness. Once cooked to desired level, transfer steak to a plate to rest for five minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In a small bowl, whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients until well combined.
In a large bowl, toss together half of the vinaigrette with half of the gremolata along with mixed greens, endives, cherry tomatoes, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, sliced corn kernels, and red onion.
Lay sliced steak atop your prepared salad. Drizzle remaining gremolata and vinaigrette over both steak and salad as desired. Enjoy your refreshing Balsamic Steak Gorgonzola Salad with Grilled Corn!
