 This
Green Mountain classic always delights our guests. With outdoor
grilling in full swing, spring/summer is the perfect time
to make it. While making the steak, you might as well grill
some onions to add more taste and nutrition to this lean,
healthy cut of beef. The fresh herbs – thyme, rosemary
or a little of both – are spring/summer item many of
us will have growing in our garden or on the patio. If you
don't, it's not too late to get them growing!
This recipe can be found in our Recipes
for Living cookbook.
