Let’s get grillin’!
What screams summer BBQ more than a great rack of ribs? We’ve done some serious soul searching and have come to the conclusion that not much compares to grilling ribs on the BBQ with your friends and family in the summer sun. And to help you with all of your grillin’ dreams, we’ll have a new rib on special every week this summer – just look for our Rib of the Week logo
in our flyer and in-store. Grab some ribs and try the three delicious rib recipes below – these recipes will have your guests convinced that they’re eating at a 3-star Michelin Star restaurant.

Wanna grill like a pro? The sound of a steak sizzlin’ on the grill is music to our ears and a steak done right is heaven on our taste buds. Follow these few simple guidelines to become your neighbourhood grill master:
- Preheat the grill on high before you put the steaks on
- Season steaks with salt & pepper & brush lightly with olive oil
- Allow steaks to come to room temperature (remove from refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking)
- Place steaks on grill. Leave the grill on high
- Grill the steaks, turning in between to cook both sides evenly. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 4-5 minutes on each side for medium or 5-6 minutes on each side for well done. Cooking times vary depending on the thickness of the steak and your personal preference, so it’s best to check doneness with a meat thermometer
- Medium-rare: 63°C (145°F)
- Medium: 71°C (160°F)
- Well-done: 77°C (170°F)
- Remove steaks from grill, place on a plate and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 5-7 minutes
