Honey Balsamic Marinated Skirt Steak + Fudgy Brownies Recipe
Steak salads will always be a top tier tomato girl summer dinner but add the BEST fudgy brownies… and we’ve got a dinner for the books! The summer salad is toss with a bunch of garden veggies, herbs, and balsamic honey marinated skirt steak for a simple grilling recipe.
Ingredients to Make Honey Balsamic Marinated Skirt Steak:
- 1 lb. First Light Beef Skirt Steak
- ¼ cup Steens Manuka Honey
- ¼ cup Lewis Road Creamery Butter, melted, or Olive Oil
- ¼ cup Traditional Balsamic
- 2-3 Garlic Cloves, minced
- ¼ cup Fresh Basil, chopped
- 1 tsp. EACH: Salt, Black Pepper
How to Make a Steak Salad:
After you’ve marinated and grilled/cooked the steak, while it rests, you can prep the salad. The options for salad toppings are endless when you have a good meat and salad base such as spinach, arugula, or spring mix. In the winter season, kale makes incredible steak salads too.
A few steak salad topping options:
- Sliced Avocado
- Goat Cheese
- Pickled Onions
- Sliced Peaches, grilled or regular
- Ripe Figs, sliced
- Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- Cucamelons, halved
I made these brownies the day before I had friends coming over, and let’s just say not one was left by the end of that following night.
“How are they so fudgy?!”
“Where can I find the recipe!”
“Those are seriously so rich and good”
And my friends are picky when it comes to desserts, so it’s safe to say they were a winner!

- 1 ¼ cups Granulated Cane Sugar
- 5 tbsp. Lewis Road Creamery Butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs

- 1/3 cup Olive Oil

- 1 tsp. Heilala Vanilla Extract
- ¾ cup Cocoa Powder
- ½ cup All Purpose Flour

Hi! This recipe looks so incredible, and I have been thinking about it non stop since I saw it last year. What is the dressing that you put on top of the steak salad? I am very into dressing/sauce, so I’ve held off on making it till I could figure it out, and haven’t. I hope you see this and reply so I can finally make it. lol Thank you!
Hi Sarah! I made a honey mustard vinaigrette to drizzle on top! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Hi are you using balsamic glaze or vinegar. I’m new to that ingredient.
Hi Alina! You could use either one; however, the balsamic glaze will hold a more intense flavor! 2
