About beef:
Non-matured meat is much better for barbecuing than aged one, as during aging it
loses moist. Any part of a good quality, fat woven, marbled beef is excellent for
barbecue. The American breeds are outstanding, especially those which are not fed but
pastured.
Recommended beef parts for BBQ:
brisket (BBQ master category)
rib (favoured by many)
clod (tied in shape)
shin (tied in shape)
rump (cooked extremely tender to preserve juice)
ox tail (smoked for 4 hours, then braised on stew base)
flank steak
cheeks
shoulder
