- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1-1/2 large handfuls of fresh dill, chopped finely

Instructions
- Remove your Country Natural Beef skirt steak from the fridge.
- Season meat with kosher salt and cracked pepper - Dress it generously with marinade and return it to the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Add tahini, water, garlic, red wine vinegar, salt and lemon juice in a medium wide bowl. Using a whisk, whisk it until the water has broken the tahini paste into creamy consistency.
- Add lemon juice as needed for extra tarte flavor or more water to create your desired dressing consistency.
- Finish the dressings with the dill.
- Wash the vegetables and prepare them all. Snap the woody stems off the bottom of the asparagus. Slice the tops off of the radishes and halve them. Halve the carrots lengthwise.
- Dress them with olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Once it is hot, grill them - preferably in grill pans to reduce loss to the grates.
- Once the vegetables are done, crank the heat to the highest setting on your grill.
- Meanwhile, remove your meat from the fridge and dab off the excess moisture from the marinade to get the best sear.
- Once the grill is screaming hot, put the meat on and sear, undisturbed for 3-ish minutes.
- Flip once and do the same on the second side for 2-ish minutes. Skirt steak should be served medium rare - 130 degrees to maximum 140 degrees.
- Add Spring Salad Mix to the bottom of a large wide platter, sprinkle it with salt.
- Arrange the grilled vegetables, meat, jammy eggs (optional) and then dress with the tahini dressing.
