Essential Components of the Ultimate BBQ Pack

A great BBQ starts with high-quality meats. At Pryde Butchery, we offer many premium cuts to satisfy every taste. Let's look at some must-have items for your BBQ pack, thinking about flavors, cooking methods, and serving sizes to make sure you have the perfect selection for your event.

Premium Beef Cuts

New York Steak

Our Rump Cap (also called Picanha) is a favourite in Brazilian barbecue. It's tasty and tender, perfect for grilling. At $49.99/kg, it's a special treat for your BBQ. Cook it over high heat to get a crispy outside and juicy inside. Slice it against the grain before serving. For steak fans, our New York Steak is a classic choice. It costs $49.99/kg and is lean, juicy, and full of flavour. You can grill it, cook it in a pan, or try reverse-searing for a fancy restaurant-style meal at home. Try marinating it in olive oil, garlic, and herbs to make it even tastier.

Pork Selections

USA Pork Ribs
Mini Pork Roast
 

You can't have a BBQ without pork! Our USA Style Pork Ribs ($26.99/kg) are great for slow cooking. They turn out tender, and the meat falls off the bone. Cook them slowly in a smoker or covered grill for 3-4 hours. Add BBQ sauce in the last 30 minutes to make them sticky and caramelised. For smaller groups, try our Mini Roast Pork with Crackling ($19.99/kg). It has a crispy outside and juicy inside. To get perfect crackling, score the skin and rub it with salt before cooking. Roast it in a hot oven for the first 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to keep the meat moist while the skin gets crispy.

Diverse Sausage Selection for Every Palate

Sausages are a BBQ must-have, and we have lots of types to please everyone at your party. From classic flavors to fancy options, our sausage selection has something for every taste:

Thick Sausages
Chicken and Sweetcorn Sausages
 

Our Chorizo Sausage ($21.99/kg) brings real Spanish flavours to your grill. Each gluten-free sausage weighs about 130g and is full of paprika, garlic, and other tasty spices. Grill these sausages over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, turning them now and then for even cooking. They taste great with grilled peppers and onions. For a lighter choice, try our Chicken and Sweetcorn Sausages ($21.99/kg). Made with fresh chicken without hormones, these gluten-free sausages weigh 120-130g each. The sweet corn adds a nice flavor and texture. Cook these sausages over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, turning them often to make sure they're cooked through.

For lamb fans, we have Lamb and Rosemary Sausages ($21.99/kg). These gluten-free sausages are made with top-quality grass-fed lamb and weigh 120-130g each. The rosemary goes perfectly with the rich lamb flavour. Grill these sausages over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally. Serve them with a mint yogurt sauce for a yummy Mediterranean-style dish.

Kebabs: The Ultimate BBQ Crowd-Pleaser

Kebabs are easy to grill and fun to eat. We have many flavours to suit all tastes, making sure your BBQ has options for everyone:

Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs
Honey Soy Kebabs

Our Honey Soy Chicken Kebabs ($2.99 each) are made with juicy thigh meat and soaked in a sweet and salty sauce. Each kebab weighs about 105g and has a perfect mix of flavours. Grill these kebabs over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning them now and then to cook evenly and get a nice glaze. The honey in the sauce helps create a tasty coating as they cook. For peanut butter lovers, try our Satay Chicken Kebabs ($2.99 each), which have a rich, nutty flavour. Cook these kebabs over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, letting the peanut sauce caramelise without burning. Serve with extra satay sauce on the side for dipping.

We also have Greek Souvlaki Chicken Kebabs ($2.99 each) for those who like a classic barbecue taste. These kebabs are soaked in a smoky BBQ sauce that gets stronger as they cook. Grill them over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, adding more BBQ sauce if you want. For lamb fans, our Lamb Kebabs ($3.99 each) are seasoned with a tasty souvlaki mix, including oregano, garlic, and lemon. Cook these over high heat for about 6-8 minutes for medium doneness, letting them char a bit for extra flavour.

BBQ Favourites: Beyond the Basics

To complete your BBQ pack, think about adding these tasty options that go beyond regular grilling food:

BBQ Beef Rissoles
Hot Chilli Wingettes

Our BBQ Beef Rissoles ($23.99/kg) are full of carrots, mozzarella, and sundried tomato. Each rissole weighs 150g and is a tasty alternative to regular burgers. Cook these rissoles over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach 160°F (71°C) inside. The cheese inside will melt, making a yummy, gooey centre. For a finger-licking good time, add some Chicken Wingettes ($12.99/kg) to your order. You can soak these wingettes in your favourite sauce or just add salt and pepper before grilling. Cook them over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, turning them now and then, until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through.

Specialty BBQ Packs for Every Occasion

If you want a complete BBQ solution, check out our special packs designed to make your grilling experience easy:

The BBQ Smokers Meat Pack ($99.00) is great for smoking fans. It includes grass-fed beef brisket, pork butt, ribs, sausages, and sauce. This pack is perfect for those who like slow cooking, letting you make tender, smoky meats with complex flavours. The beef brisket and pork butt are especially good for smoking, needing 8-12 hours of cooking time for the best results.

BBQ Accessories and Condiments

No BBQ is complete without the right sauce. Try our Big Rick's Hot As BBQ Sauce ($7.99) for a spicy kick. This American-style sauce has Habanero chilli for heat lovers, balancing sweetness with a fiery punch. It's great for brushing onto meats during the last few minutes of grilling or as a dipping sauce. Try it with our chicken wings or use it to spice up your burgers.
