Eggplant STEAKS

For me, eggplant is something I enjoy only in season.  I will buy carrots from the store but my eggplant must be fresh from the garden.  Rather than thinking me a food snob, I would like to think I am being picking.  Eggplant, in my opinion, is my least favorite of all the garden vegetables albeit tasty, I do not choose to eat this often.  So, when I do eat eggplant, I want it at its maximum peek of tastiness, which is fresh right from the garden.  Since I already have the grill going in the summer what better way to cook an eggplant.

Serves 4

2 medium eggplants, trimmed and slices into ¼ inch steaks

3-4 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon steak seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Heat the grill to medium-high heat.  Drizzle eggplant with olive oil, steak seasoning and salt and pepper, repeat on both sides. Grill 2-3 minutes preside.  There should be grill marks, and the eggplant should be tender.
