>>Steak Dinner, 2 Ways

Generally when I make dinner, I don't have to worry about making different meals for each of us.  My husband will gladly eat whatever I put in front of him, unless the main course is a salad!  Here is a simple steak dinner, done two different ways.  This could also translate easily into a next day meal if you had leftovers.  Sometimes I make double the amount needed so that I can prepare the leftovers differently for lunch or dinner the next day.  This saves money and time, and the planner in me loves it!

>>Steak
Grill steak of choice to desired temp (we actually love mark angelo marinated grilling steaks)

>>Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
~ Russet Potatoes, cut into 1in cubes, skin left on
~ Buttermilk (1%)
~ Salt and Pepper to taste

I like to leave the skin on because it retains nutrients.  Boil until tender, and mash.  I use buttermilk in mashed potatoes if I have it on hand.  It gives you that same flavour and creamy texture, without all the calories.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

>>Grilled Veggies
Ingredients:
~ 1 zucchini, sliced
~ 1 red pepper, sliced
~ 1 small red onion, sliced
~ Olive Oil
~ Veggie Seasoning (I use clubhouse, but you can really use anything)

Toss veggies in olive oil and seasoning.  Grill on the BBQ at medium heat, 10 minutes or so, turning occasionally until crisp and slightly charred.

>>Salad
Top mixed greens with grilled veggies and sliced steak, and drizzle with your favourite dressing! (See below for my favourite home made dressing) Easy peasy!

>>Dressing
~ 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
~ 1/2 cup olive oil
~ 2 tbsp dijon mustard
~ 1 tbsp honey
~ salt and pepper to taste
