Got some family and friends coming round tomorrow to watch footy on the telly then have something eat.
So I've just looked in the freezer and noticed that I've got a big piece of Silver side beef
Hmm, I wonder what I could do with it?

Answer: Its now in the process of defrosting with a view to BBQing it tomorrow.

I was just going to season it then place it on the BBQ.
I notice some people give their beef a pasting of mustard before cooking so will try that myself.

Has anyone else got any tips on how to BBQ a silver side joint of beef?
Any idea's are most welcome.

Hey Mark,

I've done a few silversides. If you see this tonight, the meat will benefit from marinading overnight. I go one of two ways with it.

a) I marinade in a good ale, porter or stout, with some crushed garlic in. Then I hit it with a simple salt and pepper rub and off we go.

b) It's good with a honey and soy marinade. mix some honey and good quality soy sauce with some garlic and chinese 5 spice (and optional chilli for extra kick). then as you're smoking your meat you can reduce some of the marinade with some extra honey to make a glaze for the end of the cook. By reducing the marinade you'll boil it up so it's safe to use.

Thanks for your idea's Steve.
Unfortunately I did'nt get to read your reply till this morning so I went with the salt, pepper, mustard and a Montreal Steak seasioning mixture I got when in Canada some years ago.

I cooked the beef for around 6 hours and it came out fine, with lots of happy faces at meal time.

I fancy the idea of a beer marianted beef so may try that next time!

As long as it's good eating, that's all that counts in my book.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I like Montreal steak seasoning and have a copycat recipe for it if anybody wants it.

Joker smoker - I would be interested recipe. It would bring back memories of my Canada holiday!
