Method
Directions
-
1
Combine orange zest, orange juice, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and thyme in a medium bowl or large freezer bag. Reserve 3 tbsp of the orange marinade for the salad.
-
2
Add Denver steaks to orange marinade and allow steaks to marinate for at least 2 hours in the fridge (preferably overnight).
-
3
Remove steaks from the fridge 30-45 minutes before grilling. Remove steaks from marinade and discard remaining mixture. Season the steaks and tomato slices with salt and pepper.
-
4
Heat the grill to 400°F. Grill tomatoes until each side has charred grill marks, about 5-6 minutes. For the steaks, grill each side at least 4 minutes for medium-rare or until the internal temperature measures 130°F. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Toss salad mix with reserved marinade. Add grilled tomato slices and enjoy alongside the zesty grilled Denver steak.
