BBQ and Steak Tips from Buis Beef

Welcome, BBQ enthusiasts and steak lovers! We at Buis Beef are excited to share some of our top tips for the perfect BBQ and steak experience. With four generations of experience in raising high-quality, ethical and sustainably raised beef, we have gathered some tried and tested advice for you to bring out the ultimate flavor of our locally raised, 100% natural beef direct from the farm.

Choose the Right Cut

Not all cuts of beef are created equal, especially when it comes to grilling or barbecuing. For a mouthwatering steak, consider using cuts like the ribeye, T-bone, or filet mignon, which are tender and full of flavor. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly cut, consider flank or skirt steak. Remember, the quality of your beef is paramount to a great steak. Our Buis Beef is hand-selected from the best of our mixed herd, raised in an environmentally friendly manner, and finished on a corn-based diet, ensuring ultimate flavor and quality.

Prep Your Beef

Before you start grilling, let the steak come to room temperature. This will help it cook more evenly. Season your steak liberally with salt and pepper. You can also use other seasonings like garlic powder or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs. Remember, our Buis Beef is 100% natural with no antibiotics, hormones or additives. The flavor is so good you won't need much seasoning to bring out its deliciousness

Perfect Your Grilling Technique

When it comes to grilling, timing is everything. The amount of time you grill your steak depends on the cut and thickness of the steak, the heat of your grill, and how well-done you like your steak. A good rule of thumb is to grill a 1-inch steak for about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. And remember to let your steak rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

BBQ Low and Slow

For BBQ, low and slow is the way to go. This method is perfect for larger cuts of beef like brisket or ribs. Cook your beef at a lower temperature for a longer period of time to break down the tough connective tissue and achieve that tender, fall-off-the-bone texture. Our Buis Beef is perfect for this, as it is dry aged for fourteen days and flash frozen to lock in freshness.

Try Different BBQ Styles

Explore different BBQ styles from around the world. Each region has its own unique way of preparing and flavoring their BBQ, from the smoky flavors of Texas BBQ to the sweet and tangy sauce of Kansas City BBQ. Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and flavors!

Pair Your Beef with the Right Sides

A great BBQ or steak dinner isn't complete without the perfect sides. Classic choices include grilled vegetables, cornon the cob, baked potatoes, or a fresh green salad. You can also get creative and try pairing your steak with a vibrant chimichurri sauce or your BBQ with homemade coleslaw or baked beans.

Pair with a Great Wine

The right wine can elevate your steak or BBQ meal to the next level. For a rich, flavorful steak, consider a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah. If you're having BBQ, a Zinfandel or a Malbec can complement the smoky, spicy flavors.

Always Check Your Meat's Temperature

Invest in a good meat thermometer to ensure your steak or BBQ is cooked to perfection. For steaks, 130°F is medium-rare, 140°F is medium, and 150°F is medium-well. For larger cuts of beef like brisket or ribs, aim for an internal temperature of 190-203°F to ensure it's tender and juicy.

Practice Makes Perfect

The more you grill and BBQ, the better you'll get at it. Practice different techniques, try different cuts of beef, and experiment with different flavors. Remember, at the end of the day, it's all about enjoying the process and the delicious results.
