Try These Tasty Beef RecipesTry these delicious beef recipes on your barbecue, I've included a couple of mediteranean flavour recipes as that is where where I spend most of the site. By adding marinades or bastes or serving with relishes or sauces a very tasty meal is created. If time permits marinade the beef first as it adds flavour and helps to tenderize it. If time is short then use a baste to keep the meat moist and help it cook. In beef recipes (steaks) the center can be left pink if you like your meat rare but make sure that in minced beef recipes the meat is cooked right through. It is a good idea to trim any excess fat off the meat so that it does not drip on to the coals, causing them to flare up, you could keep a water spray handy just in case.
Whisky Steaks An easy recipe with a great flavour-use brandy if you prefer. Ingredients - serves 4 4 beef steaks 4 tbsp whisky 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp dark muscavado sugar pepper 1. Cut the steaks at intervals round the edges to stop the meat curling up at the edges when it cooks. 2. Place the meat in a shallow not metallic dish. 3. Mix together the whisky,soy sauce,sugar and pepper to taste in a small bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Pour mixture over steak, cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. 4. Barbecue the beef on the hottest part of the barbecue for about 2 mins. on each side then move the meat to a slightly less intense heat area and cook for a further 4-10 mins. on each side according to how well done you like your steaks.
