Method
 

  1. In a large ziplock bag, pour in the oil, vinegar, steak seasoning, onion powder, salt, pepper, and steak. Shake to coat completely and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes, up to an hour.
  2. GRILL METHOD: Preheat a grill to 400°. Place the steak on clean, greased grates and cook 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches between 130-140° for medium rare. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  3. STOVE TOP METHOD: In an oiled cast iron or large skillet over medium high heat, cook the steak 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches between 130-140° for medium rare. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Balsamic Dressing
  1. In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing, adjusting seasonings as needed. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a mason jar, seal the jar, and shake to emulsify.
  2. In a large bowl, add the spring mix lettuce and top with the corn kernels tomatoes, and rumbled gorgonzola.
  3. Drizzle half of the dressing onto the salad and toss to combine.
  4. On a large serving platter, scatter the salad.
  5. Slice the steak on a bias and place on top of the salad, drizzling any steak juices over the top.
  6. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top or serve on the side. Serve immediately.
