Summertime is steak time!
SMOKY MAPLE STEAK & SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS
Is there anything better than a summer holiday weekend, friends on the deck and great barbecued steak! Yes… marinated barbecued steak!
This past weekend was awesome weather here in Toronto; warm and breezy! We had friends over to enjoy our new deck and pergola. It’s a chance to show off our barbecue skills with the “king of the grill” – beef steaks! My favorite steak is Strip Loin. It’s tender, juicy and the size is just right.
You don’t need to, but I still like to marinate my steak, it really adds great flavor. Served smothered with sautéed mushrooms – this recipe is a real crowd pleaser!
