These five quick dinner ideas use Terreign’s smoked applewood, black truffle, and Spanish rosemary salts to bring gourmet flavour to everyday meals.

1. Smoked Applewood Salt Steak with Roasted Vegetables

Few things are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked steak, and a sprinkle of smoked applewood salt is one of the easiest ways to enhance its flavour. The natural smoke adds depth and richness, creating a subtle barbecue-style taste.

  2. Heat a heavy pan or grill until very hot.
  3. Season the steak with olive oil and freshly cracked pepper.

  5. Just before serving, finish with a generous sprinkle of Terreign's Smoked Applewood Salt.

Serve with mashed potatoes, a crisp green salad, or grilled vegetables.
