This fresh, colourful salad is brimming with flavour, making it an ideal meal to enjoy on the patio. The strawberries and blue cheese can be swapped out for any summer fruit or cheese of your liking.

Cowboy Cupcakes

When you’re on the go this summer, these hand-held, kid-friendly mini lasagnas are sure to be a hit. Easy to make, these can be customized with the seasonings of your choice. We recommend using Greek or chili seasoning!

Barbecue Sirloin Stir-Fry

Barbecue or stir-fry tonight? You don’t have to choose with this grilled meal, featuring a delicious marinade. No grilling steaks on hand? Try it with a thick-cut marinating steak – just increase the marinating time.

Find the recipe here.


Mediterranean Panini

A roast beef sandwich with a zesty pesto sauce just hits different. And this one is substantial – no side required (unless you want one, of course!). Make it your own with your favourite roasted vegetables for a fresh summertime taste, or add tzatziki sauce or hummus.

Find the recipe here.


Skillet Steak Tacos

You just can’t go wrong with tacos, especially when they’re this delicious! With a citrus marinade to kick the beef flavour up a notch, these easy-to-make tacos will be a favourite for picnics, barbecues, and on the road.

Find the recipe here.


Robust Rubs for Grilling Steaks

Time to spice things up? Take your steaks to the next level with one of these mouth-watering rubs, all of which can also be used as seasoning for beef roasts.
