# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a small dish and mix together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Slather this mixture on the steak and let it sit for 15–20 minutes on the counter. Fire up your skillet or grill to medium heat and sear the steak for about 4–5 minutes each side (medium or medium-rare). Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting into thin pieces, slicing against the grain.
02 -
Coat the outside of the cob with a touch of olive oil and grill it over medium heat. Flip it occasionally, and cook for about 8–10 minutes until it’s a little darkened. Cool it off, then slice the kernels off.
03 -
Combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, and a little salt and pepper in a small dish. Whisk until smooth.
04 -
Dump the greens into a giant bowl. Toss in the grilled corn, onion, tomatoes, nuts, and crumbled blue cheese. Lay the steak slices on top, drizzle with dressing, and mix it around lightly.

If you like, top it off with extra cheese and thinly sliced avocados. Serve up your dish immediately and enjoy!
