Cooks in 1 Hours, 30 Minutes Difficulty Medium

It’s never too late in the year to barbecue. I’ve yet to cook Christmas lunch on mine but New Year’s Eve dinners at home have often seen the barbecue fired up.

Either that or tigers hate the taste of it? I’ve also heard people call it by the name waterfall beef, due to how the juices that flow from the beef like a waterfall are used as part of the dressing to give a fuller, richer flavour.
