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 tip to remember is never to put your barbeque sauce on raw meat because the sauce will seal the meat and the flavor of the barbeque will not be able to absorb. Also, when you brush the sauce on, you will pass any bacteria that might be on a piece of meat to any others you brush after that.

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.
