  • 1/2 red onion cut into quarters, separated into pieces

For the marinade

  • 2 lemons juice and zest of
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • Add steak cubes to a plate. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt over both sides of the meat. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. 
    Combine all marinade ingredients in a high speed blender. Pulse a few times. 
  • Add the steak cubes to a large plastic bag. Pour in ½ of the marinade. Marinate in the fridge for at least two hours.

  • While grill is preheating, add sea scallops, summer squash red onion to another ziplock bag or glass bowl with remaining marinade. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes. Do not leave scallops in the marinade for longer than 20 minutes, or the lemon juice will start to cook them.
