Dollop one of these tasty salsas or relishes on your barbecued steaks, beef kebabs or beef burgers. These simple mixes are all barbecued beef needs!
Capsicum relish...great with burgers or kebabs
Chop 3 or 4 roasted red capsicums, combine with a little crushed garlic, roughly chopped black olives and parsley leaves, a little wine vinegar and olive oil.
Fresh herbs and spices...an explosion of flavour for steaks and barbecued beef roasts
Process a large handful each of flat-leaf parsley and coriander leaves with 2 cloves of garlic, a ½ tsp each of dried chilli flakes and ground cumin. Pour in ¼ cup of red wine vinegar and ½ cup extra virgin olive oil.
Must have mustard for all barbecued beef
Mix a couple of spoonfuls each of seeded mustard, Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar. Add 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves and enough olive oil so you can dollop the mixture on the steak.
Roasted tomato squash…great with steaks and snags
Oven roast or sauté baby tomatoes (red cherry tom, grape toms red and yellow) and garlic cloves, then simply squish them with olive oil and a little sea salt
Rocket aioli...zesty, garlicky, creamy, just perfect for a barbecued beef roast
In a food processor process a handful of rocket leaves, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp salt and 2 egg yolks until smooth. Measure 1½ cups extra virgin olive oil in a jug. With the motor running begin to add the oil a few drops at a time. As the mixture starts to thicken you can add the oil in a thin stream. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a little hot water to make the aioli as thin as you like.
