...Chargrilled Steak and Vegies...

I use an electric chargrill thing... I don't know what you could use if you didn't have one of these or a barbeque to use...


Ingredients:
Small amount of oil
herbs/spices
Steak (nice thick cut)
1 Potato
Pumpkin
Zucchini
Broccoli
Sweet Corn

Optional mushroom gravy:
Mushrooms
Spring Onions
Capsicum

Preparation time:
about 30 mins

Method:

1). Wash or peel the potato.  Cut the potato into slices (fairly thin - about 1/2 a cm thick).  Cut pumpkin into similar sizes slices.  Put these in a saucepan of boiling water and simmer until soft.  Chop the Zucchini into slices twice as thick as the potato, and simmer those until they start to soften.  Drain these vegies well.

2).  Mix the oil and the herbs/spices together.

Depending on how well done you like your steak, or how thick it is.... you might need to put the vegies on the grill first, or the meat.  I like well cooked vegies and a medium rare steak... so this is how I do it:

3).  Lightly brush the pumpkin with the oil mix.  Put the pumpkin on the grill.  Do the same for the potato.  You need to do this carefully, as the soft potato and pumpkin will break up easily.  Lastly, add the zucchini.

4).  Add the meat to the grill. (no need to brush with oil).  Put the broccoli and corn on to boil/steam.

4b).  If making the mushroom sauce... chop ingredients (the "optional" ones). and fry them lightly.  Add gravy powder and water, and let this simmer.  Add herbs/spices to season.  Put some peas, corn etc. into a steamer or pan of water to cook.

5).  When you think that side is done, brush with oil and flip them over.  I don't know how long that will take... it depends on how well you like them cooked.  Just remember if you lift it up and put it back down... you'll ruin that cool stripy effect ;)

6).  When both sides are done, drain the vegies, add everything to the plate (in a decorative fashion of course) and top with your optional gravy..... yum!
