True
Canadian Maple Barbecue sauce
Barbecue
sauce is great for grilling, but this tasty
condiment can be used in so many other ways. From a pulled pork
sandwich to chicken quadrilles, homemade BBQ sauce is a simple and
natural way to perk up your meal. Canadian Maple BBQ sauce sweet
and tangy and works great with so many dishes. If you are not a huge
maple fan, you can always do half maple syrup and half honey.

300 ml. Ketchup
45 ml apple cider vinegar
15 ml coconut oil
2 ml. Molasses
150 ml maple syrup
15 ml onion powder
10 ml ground mustard
3 ml. sea salt
4 ml garlic granules
Method
1. In a medium saucepan mix together all ingredients. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer.
2. Simmer for 20minutes (uncovered), stirring occasionally.
3. Pour jar and refrigerate untill needed
HOW
TO BARBECUE STEAK
Step 1
Preheat a barbecue grill
or flat plate on medium-high. Brush both sides of the steak with
olive oil to prevent it from sticking to the barbecue. This is better
than brushing the barbecue, as it prevents the oil from burning.
Excess oil can create smoke and cause flare-ups on the barbecue.
Step 2
Wait
until just before cooking to season your steak, as salt draws out the
flavour some juices from the meat, making it tough. Season one side
with salt and pepper, then cook the steak, seasoned-side down first,
to seal in the flavour. Season the other side just before turning
over.
Step 3
Cook
the steak on the barbecue, using long-handled tongs to turn the
steak, until cooked to your liking. Cooking times vary depending on
the thickness. Turn Steak once only during cooking - anymore and the
juices escape, which can make the meat tough.
Step 4
After
cooking, transfer the steak to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside
for 5 minutes to rest. Heat pushes the juices to the centre of the
steak. Resting it after cooking allows the meat to relax, and the
juices then distribute evenly throughout the steak, making it
succulent and tender.
HOW
TO KNOW WHEN YOUR STEAK IS DONE
The
time needed to cook a steak varies depending on its thickness, and
how you like it. Don't be tempted to cut into a steak to see if it's
done. This allows the precious juices to escape, making the meat
tough. Instead, press the centre of the steak with the back of your
tongs - if it's medium the meat will spring back.
