Total Time: 2 hours 55 minutes (with overnight marinating)
Ingredients
1kg Beef Cross Rib Pot Roast
3/4 cup (180mL) barbecue sauce (see below for recipe)
1/4 cup (40mL) Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup (4mL) light beer
1 medium onion, cut longwise into wedges
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp (15mL) cornstarch mixed with
1 tbsp (15mL) cold water
Punch Bowl BBQ Sauce:
2 cups (500mL) ketchup
1/2 cup (125mL) orange juice
1/2 cup (125mL) ginger ale
1/4 cup (mL) apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup (125mL) canned sliced peaches
1/2 cup (125mL) canned pineapple chunks
1/4 cup (60mL) maraschino cherries
1 tbsp (15mL) Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp (30mL) soy sauce
2 tbsp (30mL) molasses
Directions:
1. First make the BBQ sauce. Add all the ingredients to a blender, and blend until smooth (about 2 minutes). Heat a saucepan over medium high heat. Pour the contents into the saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-30 minutes until thickened. Allow to cool.
2. Combine the BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beer in a large sealable freezer bag. Pierce the beef all over with a fork, and add to bag, massaging to coat; seal and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
3. Preheat BBQ to medium (350 degrees F).
4. Remove meat from marinade, reserving marinade. Place the roast on double layer of heavy duty foil; scatter onion and garlic over roast, cover with second double later of foil; seal edges tightly. Turn one burner off; place roast on grill over turned-off burner. Close lid and cook for 2/12 to 3 hours, or until meat is fork tender.
5. Remove from grill, sliding foil packet onto baking sheet. Open packet and transfer roast to cutting board, cover with foil and keep warm.
6. Pour cooking juices and onion mixture into medium saucepan; add reserved marinade and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Gradually stir in cornstarch mixture, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until thickened. Slice beef across the grain, and serve with drizzled sauce. Pro tip: this roast is phenomenal once chilled, then sliced and put onto sandwiches with remaining BBQ sauce, red onion, lettuce and tomato.

This is the type of salad to make for anyone who thinks they don’t like salads! It’s a stunning textural sensation that is both appealing to the palate and the eyes. Grilling the strawberries may seem odd, however it gives them an irresistible caramelized exterior that takes this salad from your classic Niçoise salad to the type of Niçoise salad you’d only find at a high-end restaurant! Pro Tip: If you still have some of the dressing leftover, it will stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week and can be used in a creamy potato salad or pasta salad! It’s easy to cook for more people by simply throwing another steak on the grill and divide the salad ingredients among more plates!

Remove from the heat and mix in freshly cracked black pepper and BBQ rub. Pour gravy over the cowgirl fried steaks and serve!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Marinating Time: 8-12 hours
Grill Time: 10-12 minutes (with 10 minutes resting time)
Total Time: 35-37 minutes (plus 8-12 hours marinating time)
Ingredients
1lb (500g) Beef Flank Marinating Steak
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
1/4 cup (60ml) white wine vinegar
2 tbsp (30ml) fresh oregano, finely minced (or 1/2 tsp dried oregano)
1/2 tsp (1.5ml) dried chiles (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Dressing:
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
3 tbsp (45ml) white wine vinegar
1 tbsp (15ml) Dijon mustard
1 tbsp (15ml) honey
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tsp (3ml) fresh oregano, finely minced (or 1/4 tsp dried oregano)
For the salad:
1 pint (551ml) multi-coloured cherry tomatoes, sliced
1-2 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced
3-4 ripe nectarines (or peaches), halved and pits removed
1/4 of a large red onion, finely sliced
100g feta cheese, crumbled
50g micro greens
Directions:
Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a large sealable freezer bag. Pierce the steak all over with a fork, and place it in the bag. Ensure the marinade is coated all over the steak. Close the bag, and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.
Remove the meat from the marinade, and discard the remaining marinade. Pat the steak with a paper towel to dry, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the grill to high heat (between 400-450 degrees F). Grill the steak over direct heat for 5-6 minutes per side, until an internal temperature reads your preferred level of doneness (145 degrees F for medium rare doneness). Transfer to a plate or cutting board and allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes.
Spray the nectarines with avocado oil, and grill over direct heat for 2-3 minutes on the cut side. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar with a tight fitting lid, and shake to combine.
Cut the steak across the grain into thin slices.
To serve: arrange the tomatoes, nectarines, onions, and feta on a large serving platter, or individual plates. Top with the steak, and drizzle with the dressing over top. Garnish with micro greens.
*Charcoal grilling instruction: set up your grill for indirect cooking (light your charcoal, and place them directly where you plan on cooking the steak. This is normally right in the centre of the grill.) Once the grill reaches 400-450 degrees F, grill the steak over direct heat for 5-6 minutes per side, until an internal temperature reads your preferred level of doneness (145 degrees F for medium rare). Transfer to a plate or cutting board, and allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes.
Serves 2
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Grill/oven Time: approximately 15 minutes
Total Time: approximately 30 minutes
Ingredients
Cream Sauce
1/2 cup 10% cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp your favourite BBQ rub of
Few dashes of hot sauce
SANDWICHES
1 tri-tip steak, grilled to medium rare
2 slices of Bavarian multi-grain bread
1 tomato, thinly sliced and salt and peppered
6 pieces of bacon
Bacon drippings
chopped parsley for garnish
Directions:
In a small saucepan, fry the butter and onions until onions turn golden brown. Add the flour and whisk over moderate heat for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the hot milk and bring to a boil. Add the BBQ rub. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Lay out pieces of bacon on a flat baking pan lined with parchment paper. Cool over indirect heat until bacon browns to your desired doneness.
Preheat your grill on high heat for 10 minutes. While the grill is preheating, season tri-tip steak with BBQ rub. Once the grill has been preheated, place tri-tip steak onto the grill and gently pat down, so that the entire steak is making contact with the grill grate. Grill steak to medium rare, 135-145 °F, flipping once. Allow meat to rest 10 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain
Place slices of bread onto the grill, do not walk away from the grill, bread grills quickly! Flip the bread once and immediately place it into the bacon drippings, allowing the bread to soak up the drippings like a sponge.
Begin building the sandwich by laying the bacon onto the bread first, then the sliced and seasoned tomatoes, then the sliced tri-tip steak. Spoon the cream sauce over the top of the sandwich, and garnish with fresh parsley. Bite into this juicy delicious sandwich by picking it up with your hands (warning, you’ll need a LOT of napkins!) or cut it with a knife and fork for a more dainty dining experience. Either way, you’re going to LOVE this one!
