Red Gum BBQ: A Journey Through Southern Flavors at Red Hill
Signature Meats
The star of the show at Red Gum BBQ is undoubtedly the meat, smoked to perfection over 12–16 hours using native Australian hardwoods in traditional Texas-style offset smokers. Each cut is a testament to the art of slow cooking:
-
Beef Brisket: Tender and juicy, this melt-in-your-mouth brisket boasts a rich smoky flavor and a beautiful smoke ring.
-
Pulled Pork: Slow-cooked to perfection, the pulled pork is succulent and flavorful, often paired with a tangy Carolina-style finishing sauce.
-
Pork Ribs: These ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, glazed with a sweet and smoky sauce that enhances their natural flavors.
-
Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage: A house-made specialty, this sausage combines the heat of jalapeños with the creamy richness of cheddar, offering a spicy kick in every bite.
