Barbecue Beef

Okay…the calendar says spring, but that icy nip in the air says winter… Time to head into the kitchen for some slow-cooked, slightly tangy, perfectly smoky, gorgeously aromatic Barbecue Beef!

Living in Central New York has this wonderful effect on our skin – it thickens it!

We are a tough brood…rugged and unafraid of the elements. Wind chill warnings? Blizzard advisories? Sleet? Squalls? Snow showers? (And we’re talking April!) Yes, these elements have the potential to make even the bravest crawl back into bed and not surface until the birds start chirping in the spring (or is it summer) time. But not us! No way! We can handle it!

Do we all own a little stock in snow scrapers, hand warmers, and earmuffs? I think so! Do we also find creative ways to laugh in the face of Old Man Winter? You know it!

I let the laughing begin during a particularly snowy day recently, in the name of this slow-cooked Barbecue Beef! (Sunflowers on the windowsill don’t hurt either!!)

And get this…when Nick walked through the front door, he said, “Smells like summer!”

Take that, Old Man Winter!
