GRILLED STEAK AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan; add the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes; drain, discarding the garlic.

Meanwhile, grill the zucchini, turning once, until well marked and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with half of the lemon juice.
• Toss the potatoes with the remaining herb oil and lemon juice, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the steak and zucchini.
