1. PLAN YOUR MENU
Consider the cooking time required by each different cut

2. HOT FIRE IS THE BEST FIRE!
Build your fire with long-burning hard coals or, if using gas, clean and clear the jets and allow enough time for your braai to get hot

3. CLEAN YOUR GRATE
Create a non-stick surface by using half an onion on a fork, and wipe all over the grate

4. DECIDE IF YOU ARE SEASONING…
…Before, during or after

5. CONTROL COOKING TIME 

This will help determine when the meat is ready

6. HAVE A COOLER-ZONE…
…To keep the cooked meat until serving

7. ONCE COOKED
Let the meat rest to allow its fibres to re-absorb the juices

8. HAVE A BEER OR WATER ON STANDBY
To douse flame flare-ups

9. CHOOSE ACCOMPANYING SIDE DISHES…
…To complement the meat

10. REMEMBER THAT BEEF TASTES BETTER…

…When shared with family and friends!
