BBQ Beef Any Time Of Year

Beef and barbeque go hand in hand when it comes to summer grilling. No matter if you are grilling steak, burgers or beef dogs, there is nothing like barbecued beef. The taste and texture can compare to nothing else.

Even when it is the middle of the winter you can still satisfy your need for barbequed beef when the urge takes you. You will find many recipes that are available on the internet and in bookstores that show you to cook with a slow cooker that will have the same lovely flavors as if you had cooked your beef on an outdoor grill.

A simple but effective way of beating the bbq beef blues during winter is the good old beef dog. Try this recipe to add some summer taste.

Slice your dogs from top to bottom making the cut about half way deep. Put some very thinly sliced cheese inside your dogs and then wrap a rasher of bacon around each. Cook them under your boiler or on the grill until the cheese is oozing out. They taste great and kids love them. As an alternative you can replace the cheese with minced onion but remember, few kids enjoy the taste of onion.

There are certain protocols that you must use when you are barbequing raw meat. Every year, thousands of people succumb to illnesses that come from bacteria on raw meat. It is very important that you follow the guidelines of grilling meat to avoid these illnesses.

Never use a barbeque sauce on raw meat. Barbeque sauce will seal the meat, making it impossible for the flavor of the barbeque to absorb into the meat. By using a brush to apply the sauce, you will cross contaminate the sauce and brush, and apply the bacteria back to the meat, risking illness.

Some long time grillers and many competition grillers put their dry rub onto the meat before grilling as they argue it gives the best flavor while others will advocate using liquid smoke for best results. Yet others will say use salt, celery, onion and countless other methods. Try your own ideas and see what works for you as the taste is in the taster. What may be a great taste for one person might not work for another.

Another tip is to heat your sauce while your meat is cooking and then once the beef has cooked for a while getting all the bbq flavor, add the sauce. This also shortens the cooking time and keeps the meat nice and tender.

Another tip for your bbq beef is to allow it to stand for a while to allow it to finish cooking, about 15 minutes is enough. This will seal in the juices and make cutting the beef much easier.
