The Great Canadian BBQ Tour – Stop #4: Quebec

A Taste of French-Canadian Flair on the Grill

Quebec BBQ is a beautiful balance of rustic farmhouse traditions and refined culinary artistry. Here, grilling is not just about fire and smoke - it’s about infusing every bite with layers of flavour, using high-quality ingredients and a touch of gourmet charm. From sweet maple glazes to fragrant herb marinades, Quebec brings a distinct elegance to the barbecue that’s hard to resist.

Whether you’re dining al fresco on a Montreal balcony or grilling in the heart of the Laurentians, these Quebec-inspired dishes will have you savouring every moment. And, as always, truLOCAL makes it easy to bring local, top-quality meats straight to your grill.

Quebec-Inspired truLOCAL Products & Recipes

Québécois Maple-Mustard Pork Tenderloin

Tender, lean, and bursting with flavour, truLOCAL pork tenderloin is the perfect canvas for a coarse Dijon mustard rub and fragrant herbs. Simply coat the tenderloin, sear it over medium-high heat, and finish it on indirect heat until juicy and just blushing inside. A final drizzle of maple syrup reduced to a glossy glaze brings sweet balance to the savoury mustard and herbs.

Sticky Maple-Glazed Pork Chops

Bone-in or boneless, truLOCAL pork chops take on a whole new personality with a marinade of soy, garlic, mustard, and pure maple syrup. Let them soak up the flavours for at least an hour, then grill until each side has caramelized grill marks and the glaze turns sticky and rich. Serve hot with a sprinkle of green onions for colour and freshness.

Smoky Herb & Sausage Stuffing

Made with truLOCAL’s artisanal sausages - whether maple-glazed or herbed - this side dish brings rustic comfort to your BBQ spread. Brown the sausage, mix with cubed rustic bread, fresh herbs, onion, and a splash of apple cider, then bake in a cast iron skillet until the top is golden and crisp. Perfect for serving straight from the grill to the table.

Blueberry, Bacon & Brie Burger

Quebec’s love for rich cheeses and local berries comes to life in this burger. Start with truLOCAL ground beef patties sizzling on the grill, top with crispy bacon and creamy brie, and just before serving, spoon over a tangy-sweet blueberry compote. It’s a burger that delivers layers of flavour in every bite.
