I make these for almost all of my get-togethers. There is always a someone or two, who doesn't want the traditional appetizers and these are always gobbled up in a flash.

For a grilling option, leave the steak whole/unsliced and marinade. Grill the steak to desired doneness, let rest for 10-15 minutes, slice thinly across the grain. Pour marinade into a pan and simmer on the stove for 10-15 minutes (add a couple teaspoons of cornstarch prior to simmering for a thicker sauce). Serve sliced steak with the sauce.
We like to load our tacos up with the slaw. Like, lots of it. If you don't think you'll pile on as much and don't want leftovers, you could halve the slaw ingredients.

SAUTÉED YELLOW SQUASH WITH ONIONS
INGREDIENTS
6 yellow squash, thinly sliced
1 sweet onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
DIRECTIONS
Cut squash into thin slices. Spread slices out onto paper towels. Salt and allow to "sweat". After 10 minutes blot with paper towel. Flip slices over and repeat with salt and blot after 10 minutes. This allows salt to flavor squash and releases water for better sautéing.
In a 10 inch saucepan combine olive oil and butter. Lightly sauté onion first and set aside into small bowl.In same saucepan sauté squash on low heat until tender. (I like it lightly browned.)
Before removing from heat add sautéed onions and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
Next ingredient: Cabbage

Bubble and Squeak!
The name refers to the appetising sound this stir-up of cooked potatoes and greens makes as it cooks. As kitchen recycling goes, this is probably the most useful of all, neatly dispensing with those most difficult of leftovers.
THE RECIPE
Most recipes suggest equal quantities of cooked potatoes to shredded cabbage, though much depends on what you have to hand. Take your leftover spuds out of the fridge an hour in advance, then mash them with a fork or food mixer. Shred leftover or freshly cooked greens (half and half by volume, not weight) finely, then mix them with the potato. Melt a thick slice of butter in a non-stick frying pan and, when it sizzles, add the potato mixture. Press down and smooth flat then leave to fry over a moderate heat until a thin crust has formed. Turn over and cook the underside, then serve.
THE TRICK
The only difficult bit about this recipe is turning the sizzling cake over in the pan in order to brown the underside. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The easiest way is to put a plate or chopping board over the top of the frying pan, tip the pan upside down and shake gently. Making the mixture into small patties is a delightful cheat, or you could simply cook the top under a hot grill to brown it. Whichever way you choose, a golden crust is important as it provides contrast to the soft, mashed potato.
THE TWIST
Some serve this with a fried egg on top, but my own favourite twists are to fry a little bacon in the butter before adding the vegetables or to add some chopped cooked sausages to the pan creating something more like a good old fry-up. I'm not sure it is necessary to stick to cabbage either, having used shredded cooked cavolo nero, red chard and even spinach. Gravy takes this frugal dish to another level. Especially if it is piping hot and with a slug of Madeira in it.
