DON’T BREAK THE BANK
Get the right steak cut, marinate for up to a day, then fire up the BBQ
Summers are short, so we love spending every minute that we can soaking up the sunshine.
Firing up the barbecue is a great way to combine our love for the outdoors with our love for sharing good food with friends and family.
Our latest cookbook, From the Grill (McAra Printing), features some of our favourite recipes, including our Jerk Flank Steak.
Flank steak is a great way to enjoy a juicy steak without breaking the bank. However, it’s important to prepare it properly in order to get the best flavour and texture.
Our spicy and flavourful Jerk Flank Steak is infused with allspice, lime, jalapeno, cinnamon, thyme, garlic and fresh cilantro, transporting you to the shores of Jamaica with just one bite.
Pair your steak with our refreshing Kale and Mango Slaw. Colourful kale, mango, carrots and daikon are dressed with a sweet-and-tangy honey poppy seed vinaigrette, with a couple of Thai chilies for some heat.
A common concern with raw kale is that it can be tough; our recipe prevents this problem by ensuring that the kale is thinly sliced and has time to soften in the vinaigrette. Alternatively, the kale can be replaced with baby kale, spinach or other salad greens.
