To elevate this summery steakhouse-style dish, we’re dolloping a rich, flavorful compound butter (simply butter combined with capers) onto our steaks. Potatoes mashed with creamy bel paese cheese round out the dish with satisfying flavor.

1 Prepare the ingredients & season the tomatoes:

Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Large dice the potatoes. If necessary, peel 1 clove of garlic (you will have extra). Finely chop the garlic; using the flat side of your knife, smash until it resembles a paste (or use a zester). Halve the tomatoes; place in a medium bowl and top with the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper; stir to coat. Roughly chop the capers

STOVE: Quarter the zucchini lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces.
GRILL: Preheat your grill to maintain a temperature of 450-500°F. Oil the grill grates. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise.

Cover to keep warm.

Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and softened. Turn off the heat.  
GRILL: Place the quartered zucchini in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; turn to coat. Grill 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until charred and softened. Transfer to a cutting board. Carefully cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
