Enjoy Bbq Beef All Year Long
By chef rodgers
Beef and your barbeque go together when it comes to summer grilling time. Whether you are grilling burgers, steaks or dogs, there is nothing like the taste of barbecue beef and the texture can compare to nothing else, barbequed or not.
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.
Here is a great way to enjoy beef dogs that both child and child at heart will relish. Its a proven hit with everyone year after year.
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.
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 tip to remember is never to put your barbeque sauce on
raw meat because the sauce will seal the meat and the flavor of the barbeque will not be able to absorb. Also, when you brush the sauce on, you will pass any bacteria that might be on a piece of meat to any others you brush after that.
Avid and competition grillers believe that by applying a dry rub to meat before it is grilled gives it the best flavor. Other grillers apply liquid smoke to meats such as beef brisket to give it an incredible flavor. Onions, celery and salt are also commonly used on this type of meat to create a succulent flavor that all will enjoy.
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.
Once your bbq beef is cooked, take it off the barbecue and allow to stand for about 10 minutes. This lets the meat finish cooking and cool down properly. It will seal in all the juices and make cutting easier.
