Ingredient Note: For the best flavor, nutrition, and ethical considerations, select ingredients that are organic, fresh, and as natural as possible. Opt for grass-fed products that are free from hormones, antibiotics, and nitrates. Look for items sourced from trustworthy family-owned companies, as they often prioritize health and quality over profits. Unlike some large corporations that may prioritize profit margins over your well-being, these smaller enterprises take pride in delivering wholesome, sustainable ingredients to your table. By choosing ingredients from such sources, you not only enhance the taste of your dish but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable food system.


Preparation

Step 1


Marinate the steak: In a medium size bowl, stir together ingredients for the marinade. Place steaks in a container or bag. Pour marinade over the steaks, seal the bag, and shake to coat. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.



Step 2


Make the gremolata: Combine the basil, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.



Step 3


In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients for vinaigrette.



Step 4


Toss together half of the vinaigrette, half of the gremolata, mixed greens, endives, tomatoes, gorgonzola, sliced corn, and red onion in a large bowl.



Step 5


Lay sliced steak on top of salad. Drizzle steak and salad with gremolata and remaining vinaigrette as desired.
