A Dinner Menu: Steak Dry Rub, Avocado Salsa, and Chopped Broccoli Salad

Dry Steak Rub, Avocado Salsa and Broccoli Salad

This is a very flavourful and easy to prepare dinner that is also Paleo friendly for those of you who are into eating whole foods that are not processed. 

Steak Dry Rub

1/4 cup smoked paprika

3 tablespoons cumin

1/4 cup chili powder

2 tablespoons Mexican oregano

1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Sea salt to taste

Olive oil brushed onto outside of steak

Mix all dry rub ingredients together in a large bowl.  Place each steak directly into the dry rub mixture and make sure each side is well coated, rubbing the dry rub into the stead.  Let the steaks sit for at least 30 minutes.  Coat each side with a bit of olive oil before the steaks hit the grill.  We used top sirloin but this dry rub is great on rib eyes and flank steak too!!

Avocado Salsa

4 avocados, diced

3 roma tomatoes, diced

1/2 red onions, minced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together and serve on top of your steaks!

Chopped Broccoli Salad

3 cups broccoli, finely chopped

1 ½ cups of carrots, diced

1 apple, diced

9 strips of bacon, cooked and diced

3 green onions, diced

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard

1 tabelspoon fresh dill

Black pepper to taste

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
