Grilled Broccoli anyone.

  Yesterday was Valentines Day, so a quick shout out to all Valentines present and future.Our day was perfect,we marinated the Broccoli, and Steak. Poked our Yams and prepared our grill. Very basic and simple procedure.
  We placed the Broccoli in a large plastic bag with virgin olive oil, some crumbed feta, diced garlic, Italian seasoning and a little Basil and let marinade at least one hour. Placed the heat on low to medium, started with the Broccoli placed right on the upper grill. Then placed the Steak on the lower grill so as to heat the broccoli with semi indirect heat, 10-15 min. turning as needed. Baked the Yam in the oven for 30-40 min.( you can cheat with a microwave, or chef Mike..)
This Broccoli was a great toasted / roasted flavor and texture i loved. A Tip, as i grilled the broccoli i had a little extra marinade drizzled over as it cooked. Enjoy with a good wine.
