Skirt Steak and Vegetable Grill Plate
Let great ingredients shine with just some light grilling (can be done on an outdoor grill or grill pan) and this delicious sundried tomato aioli. If you've never made an aioli, it's just homemade mayo. You do use raw eggs, so if that doesn't work for your family, substitute store bought mayo. This is summer dining at its simplest and tastiest.

Make

  1. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, sugar, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Brush over zucchini, eggplant, red peppers, and bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill pan directions: Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Sprinkle steak with some more salt & pepper, and add to heated pan. Sear on both sides for 3 minutes for medium rare. Remove and set aside. Add as many vegetables as can fit onto the pan. Grill for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Feel free to brush on more of the vinaigrette and salt & pepper throughout the grilling process. Lower heat to medium, cover vegetables with foil, and cook for another 3 minutes, or until all vegetables can be easily pierced through with a knife. Finish with grilling bread for about 3 minutes, cut-side down.
  3. Grill directions: Watch these videos on high-heat grilling and grilling veggies for more grilling help. Preheat grill to 500F (260C) degrees, keeping one part on higher heat and another part on lower heat. Clean & oil grates and add steak pieces to higher heat part. Sear on both sides for ~3 minutes and then set aside to rest (cover with foil and don't slice for at least 5 minutes). Now add vegetables to the higher heat part of the grill. Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Feel free to brush on more of the vinaigrette, but be careful of the flames. Remove peppers and move zucchini and eggplant to the lower heat to finish cooking. Add bread to the higher heat. Close lid and cook for another 3 minutes and then remove from grill.
  4. Slice steak after it's rested for 5 to 10 minutes. You can enjoy grilled ingredients on top of baguette with aioli.
