Name: Grilled Summer Squash and Zucchini
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 6 medium yellow squash and/or green zucchini (3 pounds); 3/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 2 teaspoons coarse-grain mustard; 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Grilled and then tossed with a simple mustard vinaigrette, these vegetables turn tender and juicy, providing an ideal foil for the hearty grilled steaks.

Cooks' note:

•If you aren't able to grill outdoors, squash and/or zucchini can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over occasionally, until just cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes total.
•If you are making this entire menu, grill squash and/or zucchini while steaks are standing.
