How to Grill THE BEST Steak Ever!

By //  by Life In Pleasantville Leave a Comment

I am so excited!  Summer is here, summer is here!  I am whispering that, as I do the happy dance, just in case (it's not officially summer and this is Canada), I don't want to jinx this gorgeous weather we are having.  I have had the BBQ out all winter but there's something said for grilling without snow up to your knees as you are flipping steaks out on the deck.  Regardless of the weather, steak is fantastic grilled on the barbecue, if it's done right.  So, pour a …

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Horseradish Dressing. Sort of just rolls off the tongue doesn't it? Probably because there is so much that's right about this salad, like steak cooked to your liking (I like mine run through a warm room), paired with blue cheese and horseradish, both perfectly suited for steak and crisp green salad with juicy cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber and red onion. Not to mention this salad is ridiculously easy to put together AND it's also impressive company fare. Yeah, …
