"Easy Dinners for Busy People"

I will prove that with quality ingredients (such as grass fed Australian beef and local organic products) I can show you how to produce a meal that will rival what’s served in most restaurants.  My three rules of success are using excellent ingredients, pairing them intelligently together, and preparing them with proper technique.  Please join me as I show you three easy meals for the modern family.  We will learn to cook: a roasted flank steak roulade stuffed with Persian feta, pine nuts and spinach; a N.Y. strip steak salad with balsamic glazed red onions, baby rocket and parmesan; and for Friday or Saturday night, a pan seared spice crusted tenderloin, Roaring Forties creamy polenta, sautéed Swiss chard and quince jus.

 “The Asian Connection”

Back by popular demand, I will once again teach you to cook a three course Asian meal; each course will be from a different country.  This food is so good, I feel compelled to spread the word and demystify the techniques and ingredients used to create it.  Grass fed Australian beef is the star, elevating this typical street food to a higher level.  The first course will be a Balinese style beef tenderloin satay with pickled cucumbers and a chili peanut dipping sauce, the second course will be a grilled flank steak Thai beef salad with lime, mint and toasted rice while the last course will be an Indonesian Penaeng Curry of NY beef strip steak served over jasmine rice.

 “Vegetables and Beef Meet Grill”


There is nothing quite like grilling outdoors in the summertime with family or friends.  But how about combining delicious grass fed Australian beef with equally delicious garden fresh produce?  I will teach you to be the next back yard grilling star with these three interesting and delicious meals:  Char grilled marinated flank steak with a spicy grilled tomato and eggplant salad; Char grilled N.Y. strip steak sliced over roasted fingerling potatoes, garlic confit and fire roasted pepper relish; and grilled beef tenderloin with charred creamed sweet corn, smoked cherry tomato nage and parsley salad.
