Enjoy BBQ Beef All Year Long

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.

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.

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.

To avoid the dangers of food poisoning you should take precautions when cooking raw meat. Every year thousands are taken seriously ill after eating food from the barbeque.

A common mistake is to put the sauce on raw meat. Not only will this impare the flavor because the sauce will seal the meat, keeping out the bbq flavor, but it will also pass any bacteria from meat to meat as it is carried on your sauce brush.

Keen and competition grillers tend to apply a dry rub to their meat before it is grilled because they believe it brings out the best flavors. Other grillers will tell you to apply liquid smoke to your meats such as beef brisket will bring out the best flavor. Others use onions, celery and salt to create a succulent flavor. Experiment and try different things until you are happy with the taste.

Heating barbeque sauce is common practice for many grillers. They heat the sauce and apply it to the meat when it has been cooking for a while. By heating the sauce first, it eliminates some of the time it takes for the meat to reach the proper 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.
