SERVINGS: 4
PREP TIME: 15 minutes
COOK TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless Strip Steaks
  • 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1 large clove of garlic (minced)
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 10 bamboo skewers, soaked in water (to prevent burning)
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic-pepper seasoning
  • 1 medium red onion (cut into 12 wedges)
  • 1 medium yellow squash (cut lengthwise in half)
  • 1 medium zucchini (cut lengthwise in half)
  • 8 cups of mixed salad greens

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring vinegar to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 3 minutes or until reduced by half. Whisk in the oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper into a small bowl (until blended).
  2. Press one teaspoon of garlic-pepper seasoning evenly onto the Strip Steak.
  3. Soak two 10-inch bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes. Thread onion wedges onto the skewers, brush the onions and cut sides of the squash with oil, and then sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of garlic-pepper seasoning.
  4. Place steaks on grill over medium coals; arrange the vegetables around the steaks. Grill covered for 11-14 mins (for medium rare = 145ºF), turning occasionally. Grill the squash for 8-12 minutes and the onions 12-15 minutes (or until tender).
  5. Arrange squash and onions over the greens; carve the steaks into slices. Arrange over salad, drizzle vinaigrette, and toss.
