Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 1 lb rib-eye steak
  • 2 fresh ears of corn shucked
  • 10 oz spring mix salad greens
  • 4 radishes thinly sliced
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ medium red onion thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Dressing

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a grill to high heat.
  • Pat the rib-eye steak dry with paper towels.
  • Rub the steak lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 5–6 minutes per side for medium doneness, or longer to your preferred temperature.
  • At the same time, grill the corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the steak to a platter, loosely cover with foil, and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes.
  • Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly before slicing the kernels from the cob.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, shallots, Dijon mustard, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the spring mix in a large serving bowl and toss with half of the dressing.
  • Add the radishes, tomatoes, red onion, feta, and grilled corn.
  • Thinly slice the rested steak and add it to the salad.
  • Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and gently toss.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving this delicious Summer Steak Salad with Corn.

Notes

  • Rib-eye can be replaced with sirloin, strip steak, or flank steak.
  • Fresh basil can be substituted with parsley or chives.
  • Add cucumber, avocado, or bell peppers for additional vegetables.
  • Serve with crusty bread or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
