Donald Russell chef Eddie McDonald shares his top five secrets to a successful barbecue:
- Use quality ingredients. Put quality in, get quality out!
- Cook it, don’t char it. Don’t be afraid to start meat in the oven, before finishing it off with a sear on the BBQ.
- For burgers, make a dent in the centre with your thumb before cooking as it helps to keep the burger flat.
- Take meat out of the fridge for 20 minutes before cooking, to allow it to come up to room temperature
- Always allow for variety – and remember, sausages and steak burgers are always guaranteed to please a crowd.
The BBQ and alfresco dining range joins Donald Russell’s award-winning collection of hand prepared meat, fish, poultry and is all available at the brand’s website for summertime entertaining.

From the fantastic fillet burger to the sublime sirloin, there’s simply no other burger like it. Prepared on a rustic loaf with a basket of fries, or draped in red onion marmalade with American cheese, these gourmet steak burgers remain the star of the dish and are sure to be a hit this summer.
