Bolero Fire Grill on Urbanspoon
Here is our take on a steakhouse favourite; steak with mushrooms. We used a combination of button and king oyster mushrooms to create a creamy sauce full of earthy flavours that matches the grilled striploin perfectly. 

Yup you read that right, chilled ribeye. For those of you who think steak has to be served hot off the grill, this dish will definitely surprise you. Not only do you get the char-grilled flavours of your traditional ribeye with this recipe, but serving it chilled lets you carve it really thinly allowing you to savour each slice. Once the steak is topped with chives, parmesan cheese, crispy bacon and horse radish cream you have the ultimate ribeye recipe.
You may have noticed from our previous posts that our favourite cut of beef has to be the ribeye steak. No other cut can seem to match up to the sheer tenderness and intense beefy flavour. The debate that rages in our house though is how to prepare the perfect steak. My wife favours  the simple flavours of the beef highlighted only with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper while I prefer my ribeye with a homemade smokey chilli and brown sugar rub. Take a look and let us know which ribeye you think should come out on top!

Every so often you end up eating meat for so many days on end that you actually crave something lighter and vegetarian. Here is a recipe that takes advantage of the nice weather we've been having with grilled vegetables combined with a hearty black olive and sun dried tomato tapenade. This is a healthy vegetarian recipe that can be enjoyed alone or as a side dish. Feel free to experiment with whatever vegetables or herbs look good at the market that day including eggplant, corn, basil or even sage.

I think flank steak is an under appreciated cut of beef. Often you see it in the beef section labeled as either flank steak or marinating steak. As long as you cook it to medium rare and slice it thinly against the grain its more flavourful and tender than other more expensive cuts. Served with this tarragon tomato relish you have an great dish for those hot summer days. The tomato relish actually taken from Gordon Ramsay's 'Healthy Appetite' and goes well with any cut of beef. The only difference is that I add a touch of honey to balance all the acidic ingredients.


Living in cattle country we are blessed with high quality meat at super reasonable prices. Of all the cuts of meat available, our favorite hands down would have to be rib eye. No other cut is able to balance tenderness with big beefy flavor. A delicious and easy way to complement this big flavor is with a blue cheese compound butter.


This is how we make the perfect juicy and tender steak on a Friday night.
