Instructions

  1. Preparing the Steak:

    • Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
    • Rub it generously with olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Grilling the Steak:

    • Preheat the Ninja Woodfire Grill to HIGH (204°C) for 5 minutes.
    • Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side.
    • Check internal temperature and remove the steak when it’s 2-3°C below your desired doneness (e.g., Medium Rare: 57-60°C).
    • Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  3. Preparing the Charred Corn Salsa:

    • Grill corn on MEDIUM heat, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.
    • Let the corn cool slightly, then slice off kernels.
    • In a mixing bowl, combine kernels, onion, chilli, lime juice, coriander, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Assembling the Tacos:

    • Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.
    • Layer slices of steak on each tortilla, top with salsa, and fold.
  5. Plating Up:

    • Drizzle with olive oil or lime juice for extra zing.
    • Garnish with chopped coriander and flaky sea salt.
    • Serve with extra salsa and lime wedges on the side.

I’ve got a head full of ideas (standard), but this is one I’ve already made real — and it’s here for the people who want it.

Let’s push this thing forward.
🔥 Beef Shin Ragu – But Make It BBQ.

This ain’t your average ragu. Smoked low ‘n slow on the @kamadojoeuk , using shin from the legends at @villagebutchers and cooked in the beastly @kamagearhq Smoke Pot – this one’s a comfort food knockout.

First, we give the beef a kiss of oak smoke, then braise it in a rich red wine and tomato sauce with a cheeky hit of dark chocolate and cream to finish. Silky, smoky, proper belly-hugging stuff. Serve it with pappardelle, creamy mash or polenta and let the silence at the table speak for itself.

💥 Perfect for Autumn cook-ups. Even better the next day (if it lasts that long).

Shot on Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra 🎥🔥

I had some fantastic dino ribs from idevour that needed smoking — so I decided to put the new Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra through a proper real-world test while cooking.

Producing BBQ content solo is hard work — juggling tripods, chasing angles, and trying to film when your hands are covered in seasoning is honestly the most stressful part of sharing the journey.

But this gimbal genuinely made life easier.

🙌 Gesture control to start/stop recording and enable A.I. tracking worked a treat — reliable every time.

📸 The built-in tripod meant I could drop it exactly where I was cooking.

💡 The variable light module helped even out those tricky shadows.

🎮 And that removable remote with live-view screen . . . game-changer. I can finally use my phone’s rear camera for proper quality and still see exactly what I’m filming. A quick tweak on the joystick and framing’s sorted.

I’m still exploring the different gimbal modes and plan to dive deeper into the Hohem app, but for a first run it was seriously impressive — smooth, stable and intuitive.

Admittedly, filming myself using the gimbal filming me cooking got a little confusing at times (had to prop up an iPad to catch the chaos 😂) — oh, the joys of content creation!

In short: if you’re a solo content creator who wants to simplify your workflow while levelling up filming quality and creative angles, the Hohem iSteady V3 Ultra is an absolute winner.

"Just a bloke with a BBQ obsession and a dodgy memory."
"Low ‘n’ slow till it falls apart in your hands – @ninjakitchen Woodfire pulled pork that’s smoky, juicy and dangerously moreish 🐖🔥"

Here’s the move:
🐖 Pork collar rubbed, scored and (optionally) injected for max flavour
💨 Smoked at 120°C until the bark is set and the colour’s spot on
🥤 Foil-wrapped with cider vinegar, BBQ sauce… maybe even a cheeky splash of Dr Pepper
🔥 Cooked through till probe-tender at 95°C, then rested so it pulls like butter
🥪 Load it into buns, pile it on fries, or stuff it into a jacket spud – it’s BBQ gold

No shortcuts, just patience and smoke working their magic.

"Golden fries drowned in melty cheese, topped with smoky shredded beef cheeks that fall apart with a fork. Comfort food, BBQ style 🍟🔥🥩🧀"

The play-by-play:
🥩 Ox cheeks smoked in the @ninjakitchenuk Woodfire, then braised till buttery tender
🍟 Fries cooked crisp and golden, ready to carry the load
🧀 Cheddar, mozzarella & parmesan melted into gooey goodness
🌶️ Garnished with red chilli, spring onion & coriander for a fresh kick

It’s indulgent, messy, and exactly the kind of food that makes a BBQ table go quiet for a few minutes.

"Rotisserie Picanha with a fat cap sizzling, gooey Brazilian cheese bread, smoky sweet potato wedges and a mango-pomegranate salsa that hits like Rio Carnival 🎉🥩🧀"

This cook’s a full-on flavour trip:
🐂 Picanha steaks skewered and spun over live fire until medium-rare perfection
🧀 Pão de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) – crispy outside, chewy, cheesy middle
🍠 Sweet potato wedges with smoked paprika, grilled till fluffy inside and crisp outside
🥭 Carnival salsa with mango, pomegranate, coriander, lime & a kick of chilli

Stick it all on a big board, crack a cold one, and you’ve got yourself a proper celebration of fire and flavour.
