Grilled Vegetable and Tri-Tip Salad

March 7, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

A couple of weeks ago they opened a Black Angus Steak House near us.  I looked at the menu and I saw a Grilled Vegetable Salad on the menu and knew I had to have it.  I love grilled vegetables.  They are my favorite way to have vegetables.  So I made reservations, we got there and waited 20 minutes, no big deal.  Then we sat there for 30 minutes until someone greeted us. We saw waiters and waitresses walk by our table.  No hello or anything.  Finally the manager came up to us and said did someone wait on you. We said no!  Then he brought someone over.  I ordered the salad that I was dying to trying.  My Husband ordered a NY Strip Steak.  I finally got my salad and I looked at it and something was missing.  All it had was corn, tomatoes avocado, lettuce and some ugly-looking filet mignon on it.  They forgot the grilled vegetables.  At this point it was an hour and half, so I didn’t complain.  I should have, but I needed to get home.  My Husband ordered his steak medium well and it came out rare.  We were so disappointed!  So for two weeks, all I had on my mind was that salad.  I thought, I’m not going back, so I will make my own.  Mine was so good, and WAY BETTER than Black Angus.

Oh my gosh,  I kid you not, this salad was the bomb!! It had everything I wanted and more. It is filling, healthy and the steak was cooked to perfection. I truly out did myself on this salad. My Husband was tickled pink to have a good piece of steak.
Grilled Vegetable and Tri-Tip Salad

I used corn, sweet bell peppers, onions and zucchini for my grilled veggies and tomato and avocado for the cold veggies. I didn’t use any seasoning on the vegetables except some olive oil, because the vegetables had enough wonderful flavor. I thought why hide the taste of my vegetables? For the steak I used a tri-tip steak and only used olive oil and ground pepper to season it. Man, nothing like the smell of steak and veggies grilling. For the dressing, I just used some lime juice. That’s all! I was gong to make a fancy, smancy dressing, but honestly I ran out of time and I was hungry! Lime juice did just fine!

A healthy, summer time grilled salad, made with zucchini, corn, peppers and onions, topped with sliced tri-tip steak and drizzled with lime juice.
Serves: 4 large salads
Ingredients
  • 1 lbs. Tri Tip Steak
  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 ears corn, husked
  • 1 large sweet bell pepper, cut into quarters
  • 3 medium zucchini, cut in half horizontally
  • 1 medium onion, sliced into ⅓" pieces
  • 1 avocado, sliced into bite size pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 8 cups romaine lettuce, sliced
  • Pepper
  • Juice of one lime
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to medium heat
  2. In a little bowl add olive oil, and with a pastry brush; brush the corn, bell pepper, zucchini and onions on both sides. With remaining olive oil, brush both sides of the steak and sprinkle with pepper.
  3. Place corn on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, rotating when it starts to darken. Add the steak, bell pepper, zucchini and onion onto the grill.
  4. Cook the vegetables until lightly browned on the bottom and flip the vegetables and cook until tender. The onions are done first, then peppers, then zucchini. Keep an eye on the vegetables so they don't burn, about 10 minutes total. Take vegetables off the grill and slice into bite size pieces.
  5. Cook the steak for 5 minutes, flip and cook for another 5 minutes. To test for medium cooked steak (pink in middle). I press the center of the steak with my finger, if it's firm with a little push back, it's done. Take steak off the grill and let it sit for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin slices.
  6. The corn takes the longest to cook, rotating it every couple of minutes. Once corn is done. With a sharp knife carefully cut the kernels off the corn. To do this place the corn in a bowl, hold the corn in an upright position and carefully run the knife down the corn. The bowl picks up the kernels so it doesn't go all over the counter.
  7. On four plates, evenly divided the lettuce, corn, bell pepper, zucchini, and onions. Add cherry tomatoes, steak and avocado. Drizzle with lime juice. A balsamic dressing would be wonderful on this salad too.

Grilled Vegetable and Tri-Tip Salad
This salad sounds like a lot of work from the directions, but trust me it’s not. The key thing is to stand over the grill and keep watching the vegetables to make sure they don’t burn. I love this salad and even though I look out the window and see rain and wind, I know the official grilling season will be coming soon!

Have a super great day and if you can get out there and fire up that grill!

Toodles,


Jennifer

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
