Ingredients
FOR THE STEAK: 2 pounds sirloin or skirt steak
Salt and pepper, to taste
FOR THE VEGETABLES: 2 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise and diced into bite-sized pieces
1 summer squash, cut lengthwise and diced into bite-sized pieces
1 red onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 orange or red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, and cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 ears of corn
FOR THE HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING: ½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
½ cup buttermilk (plus 2 to 3 tablespoons more to reach desired consistency)
2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoons onion powder
½ teaspoons kosher salt
FOR THE SALAD: 10 ounces mixed greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, sliced
Directions
- Heat the grill to medium-high.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, summer squash, red onion, and bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Combine all of the veggies except the corn in a grill pan.
- Place the grill pan, corn, and steaks on the grill.
- Cook the vegetables until softened and slightly charred, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on how large you cut your vegetables, but 10 to 15 minutes generally produces softened veggies with a nice char.
- Cook the corn for a couple of minutes on each side. Cut the corn off the cobs.
- Cook the steaks for 4 minutes without touching and then turn over, cooking an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes. Once rested, slice the steak against the grain.
- To make the ranch dressing: Combine all of the ingredients for the ranch dressing in a bowl and whisk well to combine. Add a couple more tablespoons of buttermilk if you like your ranch dressing on the thinner side. Chill until ready to use. Enjoy your grilled veggies, corn, and sliced steak with the homemade ranch dressing!
