Prep: 10 minutes plus marinating and standing • Grill: 12 minutes • Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS

2/3 cup canola oil

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon steak seasoning

½ large red onion, sliced

2 medium orange, red and /or yellow bell peppers, sliced

½ medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 2 cups)

4 top sirloin steaks (about 6 ounces each)

With slotted spoon, evenly divide vegetables onto center of each foil sheet, sprinkle vegetables with salt. For each packet, bring top and bottom sides of foil together over vegetables, crimp together and fold down over vegetables. Double fold both ends of packets toward vegetables.


3. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks and packets on hot grill rack. Cook steaks, covered, 6 to 8 minutes or until grill marks appear and internal temperature reaches 135°, turning once halfway through cooking; cook packets 12 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer steak to cutting board; let steak stand 10 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 145° upon standing for medium-rare.

INGREDIENTS 36 Oreo cookies (1 standard package) 8 oz. cream cheese 12 oz. orange candy melts Black icing INSTRUCTIONS Use a food processor to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs. If you don’t have one, place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and dough-like. Roll the mixture into small balls and palace on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate or freeze the balls for at least 20-30 minutes until firm. Melt the candy melts and dip each Oreo ball, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift and let excess drip off. Place the coated truffle balls back onto the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, draw on black “basketball” lines with icing. Refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes or until set.
