Cruditees

I just got back from making my summer trip up to Quebec and to my delight, my dad hosted us for his famous smoked meat sandwich party.

Smoked Meat Steaming

Steamed smoked meat sandwiches are a special Quebec treat.  Dad used his restaurant-grade food steamer to cook a 10-pound piece of corned beef for about 4 hours. The result was a perfectly moist and fork tender piece of meat. Rye bread was also steamed for a few minutes to create the perfect sandwich.

After its steam bath, the meat was sliced thin on an electric meat slicer and piled high on the rye bread. The only condiments the delicious sandwich needed was a little mustard and some crunchy pickles – yum!

Coleslaw

My step-mom, Rolande, made her creamy, tangy coleslaw and served cold and crisp cruditees for all to enjoy. It was the perfect ending to a great family weekend.

Cheers,
