of marinade in a resealable container and refrigerate for use at a later time.
Marinade will keep for 2 weeks refrigerated.

Preheat the Grill side to Med-High heat. Drain excess marinade from flank
steak. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on preferences. When tested
with an instant read thermometer, meat will register 120 - 125°F (49 - 52°C) for
rare, 125 - 140° F (52 - 60°C) for medium rare, 145 - 155° F (63 - 68°C) for
medium, and 160° F+ (71°C+) for well-done. Do not move steak while on grill,
except to turn. Remove meat to a cutting board or platter and let rest for 10 to 15
minutes before slicing.

While steak is resting, grill the Portobello slices. Arrange the mushroom slices
in a single layer on the grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until
tender with nice grill markings – do not move mushrooms while grilling.

Remove and transfer to a bowl, with any remaining marinade from the mushrooms.

To serve, slice the flank steak into thin slices on a slight diagonal against the
grain. Arrange meat on platter and surround with grilled Portobellos. Pour
accumulated juices from meat and Portobellos over the meat. Serve.

1

tablespoon (15ml) kosher salt

1

tablespoon (15ml) sweet paprika

1

tablespoon (15ml) thyme

1-1/2

teaspoons (7ml) granulated garlic

1-1/2

teaspoons (7ml) dried powdered onion

boneless pork loin chops, 5 ounces (150g) each, about 3/4 inch
(1.88cm) thick

Place the salt, paprika, thyme, garlic, onion, black pepper, cayenne, and white
pepper in a bowl and mix together. Makes about 1/4 cup (50ml) Spicy Rub.
Sprinkle each pork chop with 1/2 teaspoon (2ml) of the Spicy Rub. Rub in to
distribute evenly over both sides of the chops. Let stand 15 minutes or longer.

Preheat the Grill side to High. When hot, arrange the pork chops on the grill,
spacing them evenly - they should not be crowded together. Grill for 9 to 12
minutes per side, moving them only to turn, until the internal temperature of
the pork chops reads 160°F (71°C) when tested with an instant read
thermometer. Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

tablespoons (30ml) boiling water

1/2

cup (125ml) Dijon-style mustard

bowl. Mix gently to combine (do not overwork mixture). Form into six burgers
of equal size. Cover and refrigerate if not grilling immediately.
