Ingredients
- 1½ lb New York strip steaks
- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- 1 count shallot
- ¼ cup balsamic vinaigrette
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 20 oz cauliflower florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup tzatziki
- 8 count wooden skewers
Steps
- Cut the steak into 1 1/4-inch cubes. Mince the shallot and toss it and the steak with the balsamic vinaigrette, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Thread steak cubes and grape tomatoes onto 8 skewers (soak wooden skewers 10 minutes first).
- Steam the cauliflower in a covered pot with 1 inch of water for 6-8 minutes until tender. Drain and toss with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Grill or broil the skewers on high, 3-4 minutes per side, turning, until the steak reaches 145°F. Rest 3 minutes.
- Serve the skewers over the cauliflower with tzatziki for dipping.
- Picky eaters can have the plain steak, tomatoes and cauliflower, with tzatziki on the side or left off.
- Make ahead: toss the steak with the marinade and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Steam the cauliflower ahead and reheat it while the skewers cook.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
