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

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me.

I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
