Steak with Grilled Green Beans and Tomatoes

We LOVE steak! But obviously, it is not cheap and not the healthiest thing for you, so when we cook it during the week, we normally share one.  This is one of our favorite weeknight meals.  Its is quick, easy and really good!  

*We use a gas grill with multiple burners.  If you have a charcoal grill, click here for a tutorial on how to create a dual grilling zone so you have one section of high heat (for the steak) and one section of lower heat (for the veggies)

* We like our steak about medium, so if you like it more rare or more done, you can adjust the cook time.

This recipe serves 2, but you could easily increase it to feed more.

Ingredients:
1 Ribeye (or if you have another preference of steak, that is fine)
A few pinches of Salt, Pepper, and garlic powder to season the steak to your liking.
1 cup of grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 pound rinsed and trimmed green beans
2 cloves of garlic- minced (We LOVE garlic, you can always scale back if you feel the need)
1-2 Tbsp Olive oil

1) Preheat grill on high heat.

2) Brush steak with olive oil on each side. Season steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on each side of the steak.

3) Use aluminum foil to line a grill basket.  If you do not have a grill basket, you can create a pan from the foil as seen in the picture below.  Just fold up the sides a few times to create a rim.

4)Toss the green beans, tomato halves, and chopped garlic with about 1 tbsp.  olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper. 

5)  Put steak on grill and sear both sides for 4 minutes per side. While searing steak, put grill basket (or foil tray) over burner on opposite side of grill and turn heat down to medium, stirring green bean tomato mixture occasionally.

6)  After cooking steaks at high heat for 4 minutes per side, turn heat to low (just the burners cooking the steak, leave veggie burner on medium), shut lid, and continue to cook an additional 2 minutes per side, still stirring green bean and tomato mixture occasionally.

7) Next, take steak off grill and let sit for 5 minutes. Steak will continue to cook while sitting. Meanwhile, shut grill lid and continue cooking green bean and tomato mixture for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until green beans are tender. Take grill basket off grill, slice steak, and serve.

Enjoy!
