Serves: 4
Prep time:  10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time : 30 minutes

Ingredients
1 medium lemon (zested and juiced)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
16 medium cherry tomatoes
10oz white mushrooms (stemmed)

Tips & Notes
– Make Ahead Tip: Equipment: Eight 10-inch skewers (see Tip)

– Tip: When using wooden skewers, wrap the exposed parts with foil to keep them from burning. (Contrary to conventional wisdom, soaking skewers in water doesn’t protect them.)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat grill to high.

Step 2
Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, oregano, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl.

Step 3
Add tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini and onion to the remaining marinade; toss well to coat.

Step 4
Thread the vegetables onto eight 10-inch skewers.

Step 5
Drizzle the vegetables and steak with the reserved marinade.

Step 6
Grill the steak 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium.

Step 7
Grill the vegetable kebabs, turning frequently, until tender and lightly charred, 8 to 12 minutes total.

Step 8
Remove the vegetables from the skewers and serve with the steak.
