Recipe Ingredients:

3 beef ribeye steaks, cut 1-inch thick (about 2 pounds)

6 small red potatoes, cut in half (about 1 1/2 to 2 ounces each)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 medium zucchini and/or yellow squash, cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch slices

5. Place steaks and kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals; brush kabobs with half of seasoned butter.
