Preparation
Cook the rice
- Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first.
- Zest and juice the lemon.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat, add ½ the lemon zest and ½ the lemon juice, and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Grill the steaks
- Meanwhile, pat the steaks* dry; season with ½ the spices and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ and grill, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked as desired (to ensure a consistent temperature throughout, turn over at least twice).
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Grill the shrimp
- Meanwhile, pat the shrimp** dry (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with S&P.
- Add to the BBQ and grill, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate.
Grill the green beans
- Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans.
- Mince the garlic.
- Place the green beans and ⅔ of the garlic on a large piece of lightly oiled aluminum foil. Add a drizzle of oil, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
- Fold the edges over to seal. Wrap in a second piece of aluminum foil.
- Add the foil package to the BBQ and grill, rotating occasionally, 6 to 8 min., until the green beans are crisp-tender.
Make the feta vinaigrette
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the cheese.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cheese, remaining lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and pepper.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your plates.
- Top with the steaks, shrimp and green beans.
- Spoon the feta vinaigrette over. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking beef to a minimum internal temperature of 63°C.
