Patriotic Grilled New York Strip Steak with Red, White & Blue Toppings

Red White and Blue Steak

This Independence Day feels especially meaningful at our house. My husband recently retired from the U.S. Army after more than 20 years of service and multiple deployments, and I wanted to celebrate his dedication with a vibrant, flavorful dish: a grilled New York strip steak finished with a herbed cherry tomato and blueberry salad. The result is a patriotic red, white and blue plate that’s both festive and fresh.

I chose New York strip steaks for this recipe because they are leaner than cuts like rib-eye or filet mignon while still offering plenty of beefy flavor. Paired with in-season cherry tomatoes and antioxidant-rich blueberries, this dish is light, colorful and perfect for a summer cookout.

Grilled Red, White and Blue New York Strip Steak

Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 4

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 (white parts only), 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 (white parts only), sliced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Make the salad: In a small bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons avocado oil, the Garlic & Herb seasoning and lemon juice. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and blueberries, toss to coat, and let them marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Marinate the steaks: In a zip-top bag combine the steaks, minced garlic, 3 tablespoons avocado oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, sliced white scallions, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Grill the steaks: Heat your grill to high. Place steaks on the hot grill and cook about 7 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. Remove from the grill, tent with foil and let rest a few minutes.
  • Grill the salad: Reduce the grill to medium-high and place a grill basket on the grate. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the marinated tomatoes and blueberries into the basket—avoid adding all the oil to prevent flare-ups. Grill, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes until warmed and slightly charred.
  • Toss: Spoon the grilled fruit back into the small bowl, add the sliced white scallions and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve: Plate the rested steaks and top generously with the herbed tomato and blueberry salad. Serve immediately and enjoy.
