Enjoy BBQ Beef All Year Long

By: chef rodgers

The word beef and the word barbeque are hard to part when it comes to summer time grilling. It doesn't matter if you are grilling steak, burgers or beef dogs, nothing beats the great taste of barbecued beef.

However, when it is the middle of winter, and you have a craving for barbeque beef, there are ways to cook it to satisfy that barbeque craving. There are many recipes that are available in bookstores and on the Internet that allow you to cook barbequed food in a slow cooker, and they will have the same flavor as they would if they were cooked 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.

Take the beef dogs and slice them the long way. Slice about half way through and fill them with thinly sliced cheese. You can also fill them with minced onion, however most children do not like the taste of onions. Wrap each dog with a strip of bacon. You can either put them on the grill or under the broiler in the oven. The dog is done when the cheese oozes out of the dog. Place them on a bun and you have a gourmet treat that is sure to please even the pickiest eater.

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.

Many grillers heat their sauce and then apply it to the beef when it has been cooking for a while. By doing this you can eliminate some of the time it takes for the meat to reach the required temperature.

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.
