Food editor Melissa Roberts owes the inspiration for this recipe to her brother in Boston, Jeff, whose signature summer dish is grilled sirloin tips marinated in bottled Italian dressing. Melissa marinates the steak in a homemade, full-flavored red-wine vinaigrette before grilling it alongside skewers of juicy tomatoes and okra.

Cooks' notes:

·Steak can be marinated up to 24 hours.
·Steak and vegetable skewers can be grilled in a hot oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan.
