GRILLSTONE RECIPES
Hickory Smoked Canadian Rib Steak: Reverse Seared with Butter, Garlic & Thyme. Served with hand-chopped Chimichurri
When we think fine dining, we think of perfectly cooked food, plated precisely and prepared using only the best ingredients.
Grilling isn’t often a technique that lends itself to those types of plates however, using the Island Grillstone, fine dining techniques can be applied on your grill. Optionally use Jackson Grills Pellet Smoker to add natural hickory wood flavour.
