Suggestions
Ensure the barbecue is hot before you cook. Make it hot enough to sizzle the meat as it makes contact with the plate or grill.
NEVER pour raw marinade mixture over cooked meat. Any leftover marinade mixture must always be bought to boiling point and boiled for a few minutes before using to kill harmful bacteria.
Best beef steaks for barbecuing: fillet/tenderloin, rib eye/scotch fillet, sirloin/porterhouse/New York, T-bone, rump, round and blade, oyster blade.
