Summary

The Texas barbecue is a way of life, it’s a process of hot-smoking meat cooked low and slow to the point where the meat falls off the bone seamlessly after being marinated in a sweet tomato-like sauce – aka the Texan BBQ Sauce – or dry-rubbed with secret mixtures of dry seasonings, giving it flavors that you won’t ever forget.  

In this beautifully illustrated book, Robert ‘Texas’ Murphy will share with you 80 authentic Texas-style barbecue recipes, some of which have been handed down from his cattle-ranching ancestors.  These tasty recipes will include sticky, luscious ribs, juicy steaks, tender brisket that will simply melt in your mouth, with a variety of side dishes to complete your meal.

For those that don’t know which meat is the best meat to use, there is a chapter outlining the different and ideal cuts of meat to use according to the different barbecue method.  So no more tough chewy meat – make way for ‘melt-in-the mouth’ sensations.

Author Biography

Slow talkin’ Texan Robert Murphy is the down to earth cowboy that Australia has grown to love. Born in Clovis New Mexico to a Texan cattle rancher father, Robert spent his youth riding goats, sheep, horses, steers and hunting and fishing.  He first learned to cook from catching/hunting his own food and cooking in the outdoors. Before long Robert moved to Texas to study at college, going on to work as everything from a cattle rancher to a horse trainer, demolition worker to picture framer.  He’s been a pilot and a professional outdoorsman, led hunting tours through Texas and worked as a ranch guide. His skills also extend to shooting, tracking and survival.  He’s even worked as a professional shooter for the Texas Wild Game co-operative.  In short, he’ll give anything a go. The native Texan, who has called Australia home for some 23 years, and who now resides on many acres in the Blue Mountains, stole the spotlight in My Kitchen Rules with his tall tales and his one-liners and together with daughter Lynzey, worked his way into Australian audiences’ hearts.  Robert, who just loves a chat, and loves to cook, showed something different, his very own real Texan flavour and his love of BBQ. He is passionate about sharing the recipes of his childhood, a Tex-Mex mix becoming increasingly popular on menus. You can’t help but fall in love with Robert and his trademark moustache and authentic cowboy garb. This is Robert ‘Texas’ Murphy’s first book.
