Grilled Steak Skewers & Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce
I bought steak already on the skewers, and marinated it with a small bottle of meat marinade from the market (most markets have a nice selection, I use a variety of marinades from Whole Foods). Just put the skewers in the Ziploc bag with the marinade at the beginning of the day—if you think of it—or an hour before the meal, if you don’t. Serve with Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce alongside.
