Citrus Grilled Steak

Posted by Margalit

We're not big grillers. I never seem to remember to use the grill, and since we don't have a gas grill (I'm not a fan), it takes too long to just pop something on the charcoal Weber. But tonight I planned to make a grilled dinner with steak and grilled veggies. Looking up recipes in my archives, I came across this oldie but goodie from a friend who sent it to me in the mid-90's. Gulp. It's been a long long time since I made this Citrus Grilled Steak.

Dressing:

* 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
* 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
* 2 Tbls. olive oil
* 1 Tbls. chopped garlic
* 1 tsp. cracked pepper
* 1/2 tsp. salt

Grilled Vegetables:

* 3 large yellow peppers, quartered
* 3 medium zucchini, cut into 2 inch thick slices
* Yellow Gold potatos, cut into wedges
* 1 steak (your choice) approximately 1- 3/4 lbs and about 1 to 1- 1/4 inches thick

1. Heat grill. Dressing: Whisk all ingredients together in small bowl.

2. Toss 3 tablespoons dressing with peppers and zucchini in glass baking dish. Set aside.

3. Brush grill with oil. Brush steak with 2 tablespoons dressing. Grill steak 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 to 8 minutes and brushing with remaining dressing until desired doneness.

4. After 10 minutes of grilling the steak, add vegetables around meat. Grill vegetables, turning occasionally, 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to dish; toss with remaining dressing.

NOTE: This recipe is light, easy and very good. For those of you who do not eat beef, chicken may be substituted. I haven't tried the dressing on fish. But I think it would be very good- especially on salmon or any meaty fish.
