Summer recipes and wine pairings with cabernet, syrah and BOXT Profile Five

The complex, slightly earthy and rich taste profile of this wine favors bold and savory pairings like garlic and lime and red meats like steak and lamb. The perfect meal for a summer evening under the stars.

  2. When ready to cook, heat the grill on high. Cook the flank steak on each side until the meat has reached the desired temperature, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  3. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve in salad warm.
SALAD
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together all salad ingredients including steak.
  2. Whisk together all the dressing ingredients.

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Place lamb ribs in a large baking dish or sheet pan fatty side up. Gently score the fat in a criss-cross pattern.
  2. Combine spices in a small bowl then evenly rub onto the fatty side of all the ribs, getting into the scored marks you just made. Set aside.
  3. Heat an outdoor grill for indirect grilling (*see note below for details).
  4. Place the ribs on the unheated side of the grill, close the cover and grill for 20 minutes.
  5. Flip the ribs and grill another 20 minutes on the indirect heat side of the grill.
  6. Turn all the burners on to high heat and spread the ribs out evenly over the grill grates.
  7. Brush the ribs with half the BBQ sauce, close the cover and grill for 5 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure they don’t catch on fire while cooking.
