Al Carbon is a Spanish phrase meaning to cook over coals although you can also cook in a cast iron or grill pan on the stove and achieve a similar effect. Marinating the beef infuses it with flavour rendering it delicious. Simply slice and enjoy with your favourite side, or stuff into tacos with grilled pineapple. Typically this dish is served with grilled scallions, however we’ve served it with a smokey, charred pineapple offering new flavours that was well received with our taste testers.

Steak Al Carbon is our third offering and final recipe for the AMA Backyard Barbecue using Alberta Beef. This collaboration supports local farmers, ranchers, and businesses encouraging Albertans to shop local all summer long.

We taken a trip virtually around the world infusing some of our favourite flavours into recipes we love. We’ve shared a Middle Eastern Beef Shawarma Burger recipe, Vietnamese Grilled Lemongrass Beef Satay with Rice Noodles, and are finishing with a popular Mexican dish, Steak Al Carbon.
