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.

When you barbeque raw meat there are several protocols which must be adhered to if you, a member of your family or a friend are not to be one of the thousands who end up with food poisoning because the food was not cooked thoroughly on 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.

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.
