    Eating seasonally is a simple way to get a double benefit: it’s a natural source of variety in your diet, and it saves money since you aren’t paying to have your food trucked in from across the country.

    This recipe is a quick and easy way to use any mix of summer veggies – summer squash, zucchini, eggplant, or whatever you can find.

    Grilled Steak And Summer Veggies

    Use a variety of colors to keep it interesting: I used yellow carrots, but any other color (or all of them!) will work just as well. If you belong to a CSA (another great money-saving habit), try throwing in whatever comes in your box.

    Full-flavored steak and grilled vegetables make this recipe a rich and satisfying meal, while a fresh vinaigrette adds a sophisticated tangy taste to the finished product.

    I used fresh herbs for the vinaigrette, so I had to use a food processor to properly mix the dressing, but you could just as easily use the same dried spices.

    To substitute with the dried herbs, simply use a teaspoon of dried herbs for every tablespoon of fresh. ½ cup is 8 tablespoons, so that means 8 teaspoons of dried parsley and 8 teaspoons of dried basil (about ⅙ of a cup of each) if you go this route.

    Since this recipe relies on the flavor of the ingredients themselves instead of on heavy sauces, picking a good steak is essential.

    Check out the art of cooking steak for tips on choosing and cooking the steak to really make it shine: if you’re going to spend money on a fancy cut of meat, you don’t want it to turn out tough or unpleasant.

    With a little foreknowledge of how to cook the steak properly, you’ll be all set to grill up a memorable meal and then get away from the barbecue to sit back and enjoy the evening.
