Recipe Library
Free BBQ recipes from the pitmasters at The Que Club, Melbourne's home of low 'n' slow in Brunswick. These are our signature cooks, the dishes our crew love to fire up and share: Texas-style smoked brisket with a crusty, peppery bark, brisket and pork belly burnt ends, smoked beef short ribs, pulled pork, sticky smoked pork ribs, smoked lamb ribs, a Caveman tomahawk seared straight on the coals and the perfect reverse-seared steak. Real wood smoke, big bark, juicy meat and bold flavour: sweet, savoury, smoky and spicy.
Every recipe is an easy, step-by-step BBQ cook you can do at home on an offset smoker, pellet grill, kamado, kettle, Pit Barrel Cooker or gas BBQ. Got all day? Go low and slow with smoked beef cheeks, pulled beef chuck, a smoked lamb rack or a whole Pit Barrel chook. Short on time? Go hot and fast with smash burgers, chargrilled steak tacos, tacos de pollo, chilli-lime prawn skewers, honey chipotle skewers, lamb backstrap or crispy chicken wings. There's something for everyone: beef, pork, lamb, chicken and seafood recipes like oysters Kilpatrick and grilled octopus, plus burgers, tacos, snacks like bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers and smoked queso, a BBQ breakfast hash and a smoky pineapple tarte tatin for dessert.
Each recipe card links the rubs, sauces and gear we use, and you can download it to take out to the pit. Stock up on BBQ rubs, BBQ sauces and smoking wood, find your next BBQ or smoker, or learn it hands-on at a Que Club BBQ class in Melbourne.
