This Independence Day is extra special in my house because my husband has just retired from the U.S. Army after 20+ years of service and multiple deployments. I’m celebrating his selfless dedication to our nation with a flavorful, patriotic grilled New York Strip topped with an herbed tomato and blueberry salad.
New York strip contains fewer calories, fat and cholesterol than filet mignon and rib-eye, which is why I chose it for this recipe.
Topped with in-season antioxidant-rich cherry tomatoes and blueberries and this red, white and blue steak is a Fourth of July celebration on a plate.
Grilled Red, White and Blue New York Strip Steak
Ingredients
Herbed Tomato and Blueberry Salad
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp Weber Garlic & Herb Seasoning
- Juice of half a lemon
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 oz blueberries
- 3 scallions (just the white parts), sliced
Grilled New York Strip
- 4 New York strip steaks
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- Juice of half a lemon
- 3 scallions (just the white parts), sliced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp course ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons oil, Weber Garlic & Herb Seasoning and lemon juice. Add the tomatoes and blueberries to the bowl; toss to coat. Allow them to marinade at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Marinate Steaks: Place the steaks, minced garlic, 3 tablespoons oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, green scallions, salt and pepper in a zip-top plastic bag. Toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Grill Steaks: Heat the grill to high heat. Place the steaks on the hot grill and grill for 7 minutes. Flip; grill for another 7 minutes, or until the meat reaches your preferred wellness. Remove from grill, cover with foil and let rest.
- Grill Veggies: Reduce the grill to medium-high heat. Place the Weber Vegetable Basket on the grill. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the tomatoes and blueberries into the grill basket. You don’t want to add all the oil to the basket because it will cause flare-ups. Cook stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes.
- Toss: Spoon the grilled fruit back into the small bowl with oil. Add the sliced white scallions.
- Serve: Plate the steaks and top generously with the Herbed Tomato and Blueberry Salad. Enjoy.

Shared on FB. This tomato-blueberry salad sounds divine – have you tried it on other proteins? Looks like it would be killer by itself too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
