Instructions
For the Veggies
- Combine all marinade ingredients and pour over cut veggies: 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup onion minced, 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Combine all marinade ingredients and pour over cut veggies. Put in a Ziploc bag and seal bag tightly with the air pressed out of it as much as possible. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Thread vegetables on skewers and grill until veggies are hot, tender, and cooked through (to desired doneness).
For the Steak
- In large bowl combine oil, granulated garlic and onion, oregano, pepper, and the 1/2 teaspoon salt, red pepper flakes (optional) and jalapeño (optional); set aside. Trim fat from meat. Cut meat in 1-inch pieces or cubes. Add meat to oil mixture; toss to coat evenly. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Thread meat on skewers, leaving 1/4 inch between pieces. Grill 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare (145-degrees), turning to brown evenly. Serve steaks with avocado sauce and grilled veggie skewers.
Avocado Sauce
- In a food processor combine avocado, cucumber, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, 1 tablespoon water, the 1 teaspoon salt, and cumin. Cover and process until nearly smooth, stopping to scrape sides as necessary. Transfer to serving bowl.
