Ingredients

• 2 beef T-bone steaks, cut 1-inch thick (about 16 oz. each)
• 1/2 lb. small carrots with tops, trimmed
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 2 medium zucchini and/or yellow squash, cut in 1/2-inch slices
• 1 tsp. olive oil
• 2 tsp. coarse grind black pepper

Sweet & Savory Steak Sauce

• 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
• 1/3 cup chopped pitted dates
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. molasses
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

Combine sauce ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally.  Place sauce in blender or food processor container.  Cover; pulse on and off for slightly chunky texture.  (For a thinner sauce, stir in additional 1 to 2 tsp. water.)  Return sauce to saucepan; keep warm until ready to serve.

Place carrots and 2 Tbsp. water in large nonstick skillet.  Cover; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until water has evaporated; add squash.  Drizzle with oil; toss to coat evenly.  Continue to cook, uncovered, 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and beginning to brown, stirring occasionally.  Season with salt, as desired.

Meanwhile, press pepper evenly onto beef steaks.  Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.  Grill steaks, uncovered, 14 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 15 to 19 minutes) for medium rare (145 degrees) to medium (160 degrees) doneness, turning occasionally.

Remove bones; carve steaks crosswise into slices.  Season steak with salt, as desired.  Serve with sauce and vegetables.
