One of the best things about the guide is to encourage people to think beyond the usual BBQ go-to's and to inspire them to add some new cuts of meat to their shopping list and try things they’ve not had before. It also offers al-fresco dining tips and advice from Scotch Butchers’ Club members and chefs.
Scotch Butchers’ Club Ambassador, Grant Duffy, a fully qualified butcher and butchery manager at Strachan’s Craft Butchers at Blantyre says: "Our counters are always full of colour and flavour. I encourage everyone to visit their local butcher this BBQ season, for the combination of real quality assurance, advice and inspiration. We love helping our customers find new things to do with fresh red meat at this time of year".
Ryan Gow, a Scotch Butchers’ Club Ambassador based at John M Munro Butchers at Dingwall offers his top tip: "The key to making the most of cheaper cuts is how you cook them. Rump or minute steaks are great for the BBQ but don’t cook them any more than medium so that they remain juicy and tender".
