Preparation Instructions

1

Marinate the Beef

In a bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the filet mignon, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

2

Prepare the Skewers

After marinating, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cut the filet mignon into 1-inch cubes and thread them onto skewers.

3

Grill the Skewers

Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest.

4

Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, gorgonzola, grapes, and cherry tomatoes.

5

Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together barolo wine, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

6

Serve

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Top with the grilled skewers and finish with crispy onions. Serve immediately.
