I love summertime. I always have. There is something so easy about it. Less washing. Less food, eating outside around the pool or at the beach. Simplicity in the food.

This is such a dish. It may look daunting given it's 3 sections, but in all honesty, it is so easy. Premake the dressing, cart the veggies separately down to the beach, fry up the steak...(that means grill if you are American BTW, thus the title) and you are done. The entire family can tuck in. It is wonderful.
