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

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
