Grilled Summer Steak Salad
When it’s 90 degrees out, full heat wave, what’s better, turning on the stove or firing up the grill? This is such a fun big salad, grilled corn and zucchini, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. Creamy avocado, crumbled feta, pickled red onions and a chimichurri to pour over the top. I also grilled half of the romaine and kept half fresh for more texture. You’re going to love it!!

Start by mixing all the ingredients in a baking dish and place the flank steak in the center and massage into the steak. Cover and let marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Cut the corn off the cob, chop up the zucchini and the romaine.
To assemble, in a big bowl add the fresh and grilled romaine, corn, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickeld onions, avocado. Slice the steak on the bias and place the steak on top and sprinkle on the feta. Pour over the chimichurri and toss it all together!
