Grilled Romaine and Prosciutto Salad with Greeked-Out Gorgonzola

I don’t cook a lot of red meat, but flank steak is one meal that I enjoy for both is ease of preparation and great flavor.  Plus, it’s inexpensive compared to many other cuts of beef and I like what I can do with the leftovers.  When I first served this grilled romaine salad with…
