Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 1 (8 oz) bag arugula
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 2 peaches, sliced
- 2 cobs of corn, grilled and sliced off the cob
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
Marinade and Dressing Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp oregano, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade/Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together minced garlic, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of the dressing for drizzling over the salad later.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak in a large ziplock bag and add the remaining dressing. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to allow flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium-rare doneness. Cooking time may vary depending on steak thickness.
- Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute for optimal tenderness.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl or platter, layer the arugula, sliced peaches, avocados, and grilled corn. Thinly slice the rested steak and arrange on top. Sprinkle goat cheese evenly over the salad.
- Dress and Serve: Drizzle the reserved half-cup of dressing over the assembled salad to finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Marinating the steak overnight enhances flavor and tenderness.
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results.
- Resting the steak after grilling is essential to retain juices.
- Adjust seasoning of dressing to taste before marinating.
- This salad can be made with other cuts of steak if preferred.
