I am the eldest of three daughters working in the business and have been managing the shop since 2016. I love food, speaking to people and the environment. I also spend a lot of time in the kitchen at home cooking and baking with my two little boys, so this is my perfect job.

Grilled Marinated Sirloin Steaks with Summer Veggie Skewers


INGREDIENTS

- 4 Ardross Farm Shop marinated sirloin steaks in bourbon and chipotle marinade
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 courgette, sliced into thick rounds
- 200g Isle of Wight cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Instructions:

Prepare the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, wait until the coals are glowing and covered with a light layer of ash.

Marinate the Veggies:
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the bell peppers, red onion, courgette, and cherry tomatoes. Toss to coat the veggies evenly with the marinade.

Assemble the Skewers:
Thread the marinated vegetables onto skewers, alternating the different types of veggies for a colorful presentation.

Grill the Steaks:
Place the marinated sirloin steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F/54°C for medium-rare).

Grill the Veggie Skewers:
While the steaks are cooking, place the veggie skewers on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the veggies are tender and slightly charred.

Rest the Steaks:
Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serve:
Serve the grilled marinated sirloin steaks alongside the colorful and flavorful veggie skewers. Enjoy with your favorite BBQ sides, like a fresh green salad or buttery corn on the cob.

Tips:
For extra flavor, you can brush the veggie skewers with a little more marinade while grilling.
If you prefer, add other seasonal veggies such as mushrooms or asparagus to the skewers.
