But do you want to take your skills to another level? We asked Port Macquarie’s resident barbecue expert and founder of the Australasian Barbecue Alliance, Adam Roberts, for some fresh ideas.

What he sizzled up was outstanding, and super simple.

Whether you have a charcoal or gas barbecue it doesn’t matter - anyone can plate up a feast like this and wow your guests on Australia Day.

A simple dry rub that you can use to bring an extra depth of flavour to any meat is simple: mix black pepper and salt (a couple of table spoons of each) with a teaspoon of onion powder, garlic powder, cumin and paprika.

Sprinkle it generously on pre-cook while your barbecue fires up and you’re good to go.
