food recipe
Directions• Remove steaks from refrigerator and let warm to room
temperature. For salsa, quarter tomatoes and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with onion, chili peppers, garlic, cumin and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir and set aside.
• Oil grill and preheat barbecue to medium-high. Season both sides of steak with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and Worcestershire, if using; rub in. Barbecue until meat gives slight resistance when pressed, about 4 minutes per side for 1" thick steaks if you like them medium-rare.
• Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, butter both sides of bread, using 4 slices for open-face sandwiches or 8 if you want top slices. Place bread on grill.
• Barbecue until lightly toasted and grill marks form, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Peel avocado or scoop pulp from skin. Cut in large dice.
• Place on tomatoes, then drizzle with lime juice. Stir gently to mix. Taste and add more salt or lime juice, if you like.
• Slice steaks crosswise in the thickness you like for a sand-wich. Divide equally among 4 slices of bread. Spoon salsa on top (and top each with another slice of bread, if desired).
• Additional recipes and barbecue ideas are available at www.walmart.ca/recipes. THN

ULTIMATE Creating the
PATIODECKore Canadians are jumping on the trend of enriching their homes and lifestyles by adding outdoor living spaces with beautifully designed and tastefully furnished patio decks.
Creating your ultimate patio deck is a great way to add an “outdoor room” for entertaining and family barbecues during warmer weather.M
To maximize deck safety and convenience, Holmes says to start by considering the benefits of a low deck design that requires fewer stairs and therefore fewer worries over slips and falls. >>>
Real estate and renovation experts agree that adding a well-designed patio deck is a very cost-effective way to increase the value of your home property. A study by Money Magazine showed that such outdoor additions can have more impact on home value than interior projects.
“Creating the ultimate backyard deck goes beyond simply building the deck itself,” says Holmes. “Think ahead. Don't just focus on materials and size. Also think about your deck's design; its functionality; seating options and privacy; durability and maintenance; and of course, safety.”
The key to success is
keeping the big picture
in mind, says Mike Holmes. Trusted Canadian contractor and TV host.

Another key factor to consider when creating your ultimate deck is the quality of materials and parts used for the installation.
INSTALLATION IS ALWAYS KEY.
Unfortunately, I've seen a lot of
deck products use plastic clips to
make connections,” says Holmes.
“Plastic tends to break, especially in
typical Canadian weather extremes.
Solid metal connections are the way
to go – they're stronger and more
resistant to temperature changes.”
You've chosen materials and an overall design but a big question is always: How big a deck should you build?
“Stay within your budget but durable, maintenance-free, man-made materials that cost more initially can pay off in the long run. Once those decks are up, they're repair and worry free,” says Holmes.
Use these tips to make this the year to finally build your ultimate home patio deck. THN

GO BIGor GO HOME,
says Holmes.
ood has long been the traditional material of choice for deck building. But options for homeowners are growing
amid the introduction of 'high-tech' decks featuring man-made materials that look good, are maintenance-free and eliminate the need for repairs or replacement. This becomes increasingly important as dangerous deck collapses occur every year across North America.
Holmes recommends these newer high-tech deck systems, including a homegrown Canadian product called SigmaDek (www.sigmadek.com).
“SigmaDek is different. It uses aerospace-grade aluminum and porcelain parts that interlock to create a seamless surface that looks good and really lasts,” says Holmes. “You don't have to worry about the deck deteriorating, coming apart or collapsing. That means less maintenance, less spending on repairs and you never need to replace it.”

“SigmaDek is different. It uses aerospace-grade aluminum and porcelain parts that interlock to create a seamless surface that looks good and really lasts,” says Holmes. “You don't have to worry about the deck deteriorating, coming apart or collapsing. That means less maintenance, less spending on repairs and you never need to replace it.”
