By chef rodgers | June 13, 2007

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.

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.

There are certain protocols that you must use when you are barbequing raw meat. Every year, thousands of people succumb to illnesses that come from bacteria on raw meat. It is very important that you follow the guidelines of grilling meat to avoid these illnesses.

A common mistake is to put the sauce on raw meat. Not only will this impair 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.

Heating barbeque sauce is common practice for many grillers. They heat the sauce and apply it to the meat when it has been cooking for a while. By heating the sauce first, it eliminates some of the time it takes for the meat to reach the proper 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.
