Australia Day BBQ

Forget lamb cutlets, here are our insider tips on the best alternative cuts for your Australia Day BBQ.

From chipotle sausages to mutton backstrap, these are affordable but sumptuous BBQ favourites used by chefs and butchers.

 

1. Beef Ribs

Beef ribs aren’t your normal BBQ fare. Braise them for an hour or so in Asian-flavoured stock until tender, then grill on the BBQ to caramelize them.

 

2. Lamb chipotle sausages

Mix ‘n’ match sausages from Marmara Halal Meats. Includes:

  • Beef, herb and garlic

Dust in spices or marinate. Cook on high heat on your Australia Day BBQ, then rest. But don’t cook over medium as the backstrap will dry out.
