Grilling!!!




So today I remembered I had some meat in my frig that either needed to be frozen or fixed! So since it was SUPER nice out today, I decided to marinate in some Italian dressing for a few hours and then put it on the grill. I went to the store after the kiddos woke up to grab a few veggies. I am COMPLETELY out of EVERYTHING, so I HAD to have SOMETHING that went with the mini steaks. I know if my cuz is reading this, he would be like, that's not a steak, that's a BITE of a steak! HAHAHA!!!!!!! :)


I grabbed some asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots at the store. I would've put in some peppers, but the kiddos aren't big on peppers, so I opted to leave them out. Well, this time anyways.. ;)


I grabbed 2 big pieces of foil, and made it into a x shape. Put the cut up veggies on the foil, sprinkled just a bit of garlic salt over the top and then folded up the top part of the foil, then put a little bit of water in the bottom just so it wouldn't stick. Then folded up the ends and put it on the grill. I put it on high heat just because I wanted to make sure the veggies were nice and soft for my littlest to be able to eat. And eat did he! That boy loves his veggies, and meat! :)


I had it on the grill for about 20 minutes before I put the meat on. I put the meat on for about 10 minutes. It didn't take very long for my small pieces, well, um, BITES of steak to cook! :)


It was a very good "summer" meal! Can't wait to grill out more! Gonna play around with some spices to "rub" my meat down and sit for a few hours before grilling!!! :)


This is a SUPER easy meal, and you can add or opt out for different veggies! Or do a complete veggie meal and not add the steaks.


I don't have a "real" recipe for this, but this is what I did:


Whatever kind of steaks you want. You can also use chicken, any kind you want too!

A bottle of Italian dressing

Take the steaks or chicken and put it in a baggie. Dump some Italian dressing all over the top til it's pretty much covered.

Place the baggie in a bowl and put in frig until ready to use.

Heat up grill, and place steaks or chicken on until ready!

ENJOY!!!!!








For the veggies:

2 pieces of foil, place on counter into a x shape

1 stalk of broccoli

A bunch of cauliflower

A bunch of baby carrots

1 bunch of asparagus

Garlic salt

Water

Chop up into bite size pieces and place all veggies on foil. Put on as much as you want, or as little. Sprinkle with a bit of garlic salt and add just enough water so it won't stick to the bottom or burn as you grill it. You can either put this on for a long time so your veggie will be soft, or as little so it will still be crunchy. I put mine on high heat for right about 30 minutes total. It was nice and soft, but like I said, that's how I wanted it! Once my little guy gets more teeth, I won't put it on as long.

ENJOY!!!!


The veggies all cut up ready to be grilled....
