Method

Preparation of Steak

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the tenderloin steak.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the steak for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Steak

    Once the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

Salad Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, place the mixed greens as the base for the salad.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Chop the tomato and red onion. Scatter the chopped tomato, sliced onion, and Gorgonzola cheese over the mixed greens.

  3. 6

    Add the Steak

    Top the salad with the sliced blackened steak.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, and toss gently to combine.
