Grilled Steak with Barley SaladBarley has a unique chewy texture and nutty flavour. Cooking barley is easy and can be ready in under 30 minutes. This recipe is super speedy if you are using leftover steak or roast beef – a tip: cook an extra steak when you barbecue for a meal short-cut at the ready. Barley can also be cooked ahead, cooled and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months – another short-cut for speedy cooking.

Beef and Tomato Stir-FryGrowing up, our family had a very large garden filled with tomatoes and many other vegetables. One of the ways we’d enjoy eating the flavorful juicy tomatoes would in this homestyle beef and tomato dish. Marinating the beef with a cornstarch mixture ensures that the meat will be tender and juicy after cooking. My mom would usually slice the fresh ginger into very thin matchsticks, however, the ginger in this recipe has been left in large slices to make it easier to spot them after cooking and set aside, if desired. Be sure to stir-fry the tomatoes gently so they still retain some of their shape and texture. Serve with hot cooked rice.

Stir-fried Beef and Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli)This stir-fry dish of beef and greens was served often at my childhood family dinner table, using our homegrown bounty of fresh picked gai lan, also known as Chinese broccoli. My daily job was to clean the garden vegetables for our meals, a job I disliked immensely since there were plenty of caterpillars and insects to pick out. That aside, when my mom would start cooking, I really enjoyed the scent of garlic, ginger and beef being fried and I couldn’t wait to eat! The method of slicing the beef steak thinly across the grain and marinating it ensures that each bite is quick-cooking, juicy and flavorful. The tender baby gai lan is first blanched, then added at the end of cooking for a quick reheat with the beef and savoury sauce. Be sure to have all the ingredients measured and ready to go as this dish cooks quickly. Serve with hot cooked rice.

Pan-seared Filet Mignon with Herbed Butter BasteThis time-honoured technique is key to making the steakhouse style steak that you crave. For best results, use a cast iron pan that has a flat surface (i.e. without the grill ridges). Be sure to have your stovetop vent on high, good oven mitts at the ready and an apron on to catch spatters. This is a messy technique but it’s worth every minute of cleanup. If you don’t have both rosemary and thyme, use just one. Also good with a sprig of fresh tarragon.

Grilled Flank Steak and Puttanesca SaladAndrea Buckett Cooks created this delicious steak recipe which incorporates all the flavours we love about "puttanesca" into a summer fresh salad. The steak is grilled with only salt and pepper then gets a “reverse rub” after it comes off the grill. This means the flavours of the rub get to shine and aren’t dimmed by charring on the BBQ. The flank steak doesn’t need to be marinated to be tender. You simply have to cut it in thin slices across the grain. This is a brilliant recipe chocked-full of flavour and perfect to feed a crowd.
