Instructions
Grilled Steak
- Combine the Worcestershire, balsamic vinegar, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon pepper. Then transfer it into a large container or gallon-size bag and add the steak. Marinate for at least 30-minutes or up to 2 hours.
- When you’re ready to cook the steaks remove them from the fridge and bring them to room temperature. Preheat the grill to 500ºF.
- Sear the steaks over direct heat for 2 minutes on each side to get those gorgeous grill marks. Then, turn the heat down to medium/high (~400ºF) and continue grilling for around 10-15 minutes*, flipping halfway through. For a medium-cooked steak, cook until the internal temperature of the steak is 140ºF
- Once your steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Then slice them into thin strips.
Salad Dressing
- While your steaks are marinating, prepare the salad. Place all the ingredients for the dressing into a food processor and process on high until smooth. If it seems a little too thick, option to add a few teaspoons of water. Set aside.

- Next, place the romaine lettuce, avocado, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and corn into a large bowl and toss everything together.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again.
- Finally, top the salad with sliced steak, sunflower seeds, and goat cheese.
