Five Ingredient Recipe Pairings


BBQ Steak

  • Preheat the Grill to 600, take the steak out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature.  
  • Season the steak with a large amount of Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper and Garlic,
  • Put the steak on the grill, After 4 minutes flip the steak, put the butter and rosemary on the steak and close the lid for another 4 minutes. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for another 4 minutes.
  • On a good size steak this should get you a rare – medium rare cook depending on the size of the steak. If anyone wants it cooked more than that or does not want sparkling red wine politely but firmly ask them to leave.
