The above is a long title but I have to for the sake of SEO.
Anyway, Canada’s premier Squamish Days Loggers Sports Festival, this July 31st, a tradition since 1958 is the Rotary
Beef Barbecue. The festival will celebrate
its 60th in 2017.
So I had to have one. It is a Barbecue sandwich close to the pulled
pork style, but this time it’s beef. One
of the barbecue-ers said they used Bottom Round last year but this year it is
Outside Round. But based on research, I
found out the terms refer to the same thing, see http://www.themeatsource.com/bottomroundroast.html
The gentleman said they order 1500 – 1700lbs from
Save-On for the 2 day event. Each
barbecue bun costs CAD$7.00. For
condiments, I was advised to add horseradish a deviation from the usual catsup
and mustard. In addition I was offered
caramelized sliced white onion strips.
The horseradish does give the barbecue a different twang. But I wouldn’t tell others that it is a great
discovery. So-so.
I was told the barbequing of the meat, more like a
gigantic outdoor rotisserie, takes three hours over a bed of alder wood, Sometime before the final hour, the slabs of
round beef are brushed with their unique sauce composed of horseradish (no
wonder), red wine, mustard and undivulged spices.
I got another barbecue bun midway the lumberjack games. I can wait for it next year.
