Buying Steaks

Barbecuing the Steaks

Try a really hot barbecue and cook directly over the coals, this will seal in the juices and will guarantee a first class result but you must not over cook. Ask your guests if they prefer a well done, medium or rare steak. The well done steaks go on the bbq first followed bbq medium and then the rare steaks.

Turn the steaks using tongs, move around the barbecue in and out of the flames to give that charred flame grilled flavour. When they are cooked to your liking move to side of the bbq and close the lid to keep warm or alternatively wrap in silver foil until required but not for to long, steaks are best served hot, directly from the grill.

 Chili peppers are Good for lowering blood pressure

 and cholesterol, steak might not be but think of he protein! 

Sometimes you may not fancy the usual burgers, sausages and chicken on the bbq. So for a change lets spend our money just on steak. It may seem a little  extravagant but without all the  usual extras it may even work out cheaper. If you buy from the butcher ask for local produce or at least British beef.

Pre-packed steaks can sometimes offer poor quality and are from an   unknown origin.

If you don't like what you see in the window, ask for freshly cut steaks, the butcher will probably oblige.

A quick and easy sauce that will delight and add a bit of interest to the steaks.
