Whisky and soy pork chops
Have you caught onto our BBQ theme? Ontairo grown corn whisky can be a staple when it comes to marinades and sauces, especially for the BBQ! Paired with soy sauce, recipes like our whisky and soy pork chops are bursting with flavour. When cooking pork chops on the BBQ, cook over medium high heat on direct heat until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F (Ontario Pork has a great cooking guide and videos with detailed instructions here.)

Beef sirloin with mushroom whisky sauce
We’re raising the steaks this BBQ season with our earthy and indulgent beef sirloin with mushroom whisky sauce. To take this recipe from the oven to the barbeque cook steak to desired doneness and cook the mushroom whisky sauce in a skillet (either on stove top or BBQ side burner). Once steaks are cooked, top with sauce and serve.
