(NC)—When it’s too hot to cook inside, keep the house cool by preparing your entire meal on the grill. Serve with a leafy green salad for a delicious summer supper.

 

1-1/2 lb  trimmed,  1-inch (5 cm) thick, top sirloin steaks (about 2 steaks) 750 g

1/4 cup  honey mustard  50 mL

3  cloves garlic, minced    3

1 tbsp  dried oregano  15 mL

1 tsp each  paprika, salt and pepper  5 mL

4 tsp  hot pepper sauce (to taste)  20 mL

3 tbsp  canola oil (divided) 45 mL

1 cup each  chopped onion, green pepper and celery  250 mL

1 cup  U.S. long grain white rice  250 mL

1-1/2 cups each chicken  broth and seeded, diced tomato  375 mL

1/2 cup  white wine  125 mL

2  bay leaves   2

1/2 cup  chopped green onion  125 mL

2 tbsp  finely chopped  30 mL

green olives (optional)

Lemon wedges

 

Steak: Place steaks on a plate. In a small bowl, blend honey mustard with garlic, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.  Divide mustard mixture in half. Stir the hot pepper sauce and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil into one portion; rub evenly over the steak. Reserve steak at room temperature for 15 minutes.

 

Turn one burner on the grill to medium-high, one to medium setting. Place a foil lasagna pan over the medium burner. Add remaining oil, onion, green pepper and celery to the foil pan. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add rice and remaining mustard mixture; stir to coat each grain of rice.

Stir in chicken broth, tomato, white wine and bay leaves. Cover pan with a baking sheet (to act as a lid).  Close BBQ lid and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.  Stir in the green onion and olives (if using). Discard bay leaves. Fluff rice with a fork and season with additional hot sauce to taste.

Meanwhile, grill steak over the medium-high burner for 6 to 8 minutes per side or until cooked to preferred doneness.  Rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak thinly across the grain. Arrange the steak decoratively over the rice. Serve with lemon wedges.

 

Makes 6 servings.
