Home Made Beef Burgers
Monday, 22 March 2010 11:38:56 am Australia/Brisbane
- 1kg minced beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 finely chopped onions
- 2 eggs
Choose your seasoning, we like:
- Sweet chilli sauce and Thai seasoning to taste and salt & pepper Or
- Berenberg tomato sauce and / or Worchestershire sauce
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and roll into 3/4 tennis ball size patties. Allow to sit for an hour or so if you have time and then press burger patties flat on a preheated hotplate, turning a few times until cooked through. Serve on Bap or similar soft rolls with choice of salad. For a great taste, melt cheese slices on the burger patties towards the end of cooking and lightly toast the insides of the bun on the BBQ hotplate.
Lamb on the Spit
Monday, 22 March 2010 11:35:22 am Australia/Brisbane
This basting recipe is for a whole lamb on the spit, and is perfect for a boned leg of lamb on the rotisserie, but can be used in smaller proportions for basting any cut of lamb on the BBQ.
- 30 lemons, squeezed (Fresh is better than the bottled one)
- 10 cloves garlic, crushed2 whole bottles of dried Oregano
- 4 heaped tsp salt
- 2 cups olive oil
Once lamb is on spit, paint the basting on continually while cooking 4 - 5 hours. You can put extra cloves of garlic in lamb, if you like it really garlicy, otherwise the basting on its own gives it a really nice, not overly strong, garlic taste.Please don’t try to put an entire lamb on your BBQ rotisserie! All meat or poultry being cooked by rotisserie should be roughly the length of the back burner – for obvious reasons.

Hints for Roasting on the BBQ
Monday, 22 March 2010 11:11:26 am Australia/Brisbane
Do not run burners directly under roasts. Cooking should be indirect and only the outside burners should be run. Always include 1-2 trays of water under the hood regardless of what type of meat you are cooking, it will prevent the roast from drying out.When using the rotisserie, remove plates and grills and place foil trays underneath to catch the fat – it will save a lot of cleaning up !
Hints For Cooking Steak on the BBQ
Monday, 22 March 2010 10:53:58 am Australia/Brisbane
Only turn once and allow the steak to “rest” for the a few minutes before serving
- Rare: depends on thickness, but generally a few minutes each side – the meat should feel “really soft” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
- Medium rare: when moisture is visible, turn the steak, cook other side until moisture is visible – should feel “soft” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
- Medium: the meat should feel “springy” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
- Medium well: the meat feels “firm” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
- Well done: the meat feels “very firm” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
REMEMBER – your meat will keep cooking in it’s own heat once removed from the BBQ to rest. So always slightly under-cook and it should turn out exactly the way you want it to.
Hints for Cooking Fish on the BBQ
Monday, 22 March 2010 12:58:49 am Australia/Brisbane
If cooking individual pieces of fish, eg. Ocean Trout and Atlantic Salmon , always place the fillet "Skin side up" on the hotplate first. It can then be turned once to finish cooking through, but generally for only half the time for the second side.
