COMMENT BELOW TO WIN 1 OF 10 COPIES OF CANADIAN LIVING'S THE BARBECUE COLLECTION COOKBOOK, featuring the recipes made on the show and tons more!
















Kary Osmond, the host of CBC's Best Recipes Ever, weekdays at 3pm (right after Steven and Chris!), joined the boys at Yonge-Dundas Square to teach them two tested till perfect barbecue recipes from Canadian Living's The Barbecue Collection cookbook.

Peppercorn Thyme T-Bones
Servings: 4


 
Ingredients

4 beef T-bone or other grilling steaks, about 8 oz/ 250g each
1 tbsp / 15ml mixed peppercorns
1 tbsp / 15ml mustard seeds
6 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 tbsp / 15ml chopped fresh thyme
1 tbsp / 15ml olive or vegetable oil
1/4 tsp / 1 ml salt

 
Preparation

Trim off all but 1/8 inch / 3mm fat around edges of steaks; slash remaining fat at 1-inch / 2.5cm intervals to prevent curling.

Coarsely grind peppercorns with mustard seeds; mix in garlic, thyme, oil and salt. Rub all over steaks.

For rare, grill on greased grill over high heat, or for medium-rare to well-done, grill over medium-high heat, turning once, until desired doneness.

Ingredients
 
4 cobs of corn, husked
Half sweet red pepper, diced
1/4 cup / 60 ml diced red onion
2 tbsp / 30 ml chopped fresh coriander
1 tbsp / 15 ml olive or vegetable oil
1 tbsp / 15 ml lime juice
1/4 tsp / 1 ml each salt and black pepper
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced

 
Preparation

Grill corn, covered, on greased grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until grill-marked and tender, 15-20 minutes. 

Let cool; cut off kernels.

Toss together corn, red pepper, onion, coriander, oil, lime juice, salt and pepper.
