Pork Steaks & Grilled Farmers Market Salad

Ingredients

For dressing: 2 cloves garlic 1/2 cup fresh parsley, packed 1/2 cup fresh mint, packed 1/3 cup olive oil 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

Salt & Pepper Tableside Seasoning, to taste

For salad: 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 tsp. Country Onion Herb Veggie Shaker 4 1-inch slices sourdough bread 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise 1 medium yellow squash, halved lengthwise 1 medium leek, halved lengthwise and dark green ends trimmed 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 apple, cored and cut into bite-size pieces 2 cups arugula For steaks: 4 (8 to 12 oz.) thin, bone-in pork shoulder steaks 2 Tbsp. Georgia Boys All-Purpose BBQ Rub, plus more to taste

Garden Harvest Seasoning

Georgia Boys BBQ Rub

Directions

Step 1 To make dressing: in a food processor, pulse all ingredients together until combined but still coarse. Adjust with additional Salt & Pepper Tableside Seasoning if needed, to taste.

Step 2 To make salad: preheat grill and oil grates. Mix butter with Country Onion Herb Veggie Shaker. Generously butter both sides of bread slices with seasoned butter. Grill bread for 2 min. per side, or until toasted with nice grill marks. Let cool, then cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3 Meanwhile, brush zucchini, yellow squash, and leek with olive oil and grill for 2 to 3 min. per side, or until nicely charred. Cut veggies into thick slices and toss with bread cubes. Add apple and arugula. Drizzle half the dressing over salad and toss.

Step 4 To cook steaks: keep grill heated and oil grates again. Season each pork steak liberally with Georgia Boys All-Purpose BBQ Rub. Grill steaks around the outside edge of the coals (or heat source) for 6 to 8 min. per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.

Step 5 Remove from grill and serve alongside salad, drizzled with remaining dressing.

Recipe Notes

Vegetarian: Replace pork steaks with 2 (12 to 16 oz.) blocks of extra-firm tofu sliced in half lengthwise, or 4 (8 oz.) packages of tempeh, and follow the same seasoning and grilling directions as the pork.

Vegan: Follow vegetarian substitutions and use a vegan butter substitute.

Gluten-free: Use gluten-free bread.
