Marinated tender flank steak with grilled summer peaches over romaine salad with gorgonzola cheese. This salad is summer in a bowl!
I love a good salad. Most of the time, Jason will grill meats for the week, and I’ll make a salad of some kind to go with said meats. But, I do get bored easily, and am always finding new ways to jazz up my salad. Adding fresh fruit, tangy homemade dressings, and a flavorful protein is the way to go.
The marinade is simple, and I use it to dress the greens as well (I used mixed baby romaine, but any salad greens you enjoy will do), with sliced peaches, and Gorgonzola cheese…my friends, for serious, make this salad, now!
balsamic steak and grilled peach salad
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak - or skirt steak
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove - minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt - to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper - to taste
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 6 cups greens of choice
- 2 peaches - thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup Gorgonzola cheese - crumbled
Instructions
- To a bowl, whisk balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 marinade for salad, later. Take 3/4 marinade and add steak to a shallow dish, or ziploc bag. Let marinate for 30-45 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat your outdoor grill or a grill pan (indoors) to high. Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Add steak then grill for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on how thick your steak is, then let rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
- While beef is resting, slice peaches in half, and place on grill for 2-3 minutes. Allow to cool, and slice thin.
- To a bowl or plate, evenly divide salad greens, and Gorgonzola. Toss with balsamic/honey marinade (reserved from earlier – NOT the used marinade from meat). Top with sliced steak. Enjoy!

I’ve been noticing that about people’s summer comments, too! We are so spoiled over here in the Sunshine State. We have at least another two months of hot, hot, HOT! x
