  • Barbecue Recipe - Adding favorite ingredients To It. - By: Amit Kumar
    Barbecuing began in the late 1800s when cattle were driven out from the West by cowboys on horseback. While on their trail, they had nothing to eat except low quality cuts of beef. These men, the cattle barons, were more concerned about earning profit than feeding themselves, so they ate disposable cuts of beef. Their main choice was Brisket, which is a very tough piece of meat. However, the cowboys learned that if the brisket is allowed to cook for a long period of time say 5-7 hours at a very low temperature would make the disposable cuts of beef, a tasty treat. They tried out different ways of cooking in a barbecue, thus making a tastier piece of beef. This is how different recipes came out into existence.
