I love cooking BBQ dishes that feed the whole family. Some of my favourites include burgers, pulled pork, chicken wings and ribeye. I like to experiment with different cuts of meat, varying levels of smokiness, and delicious home-made sauces.
There is no argument about it. Grilled burgers are delicious. But have you ever tucked into smoked beef burgers?
If you have, then you know the fantastic flavour combinations. If you haven’t, do not deny yourself the bliss of a smoked burger any longer. The recipe is simple and worth every minute of your time.
