Ingredients

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.

Top 100 UK BBQ Instagram Accounts – 2026 👀🔥

Let’s be honest . . . whenever this list gets mentioned, everyone wants to know the same thing:

“Am I on it?” 😅

After a fair few people asking whether I’m going to update it, and with the old list already pulling in 5,486 visits this year, I decided it was definitely time.

But this time, I’m doing things differently.

Rather than it being based on my opinion, I’ve opened up voting to the legends in my UK BBQ WhatsApp Community — that’s 450+ members of friendly, like-minded BBQ folk whose opinion should mean a lot more than mine ever has 🙂 ha

So this year, it’s not just my list . . . it’s our list.

The people’s choice.

I’ll collate all the votes, work out the final rankings, then share the results far and wide — including over on the Smoke & Sear website too.

If you fancy joining the WhatsApp community, you can find all the details here:

https://www.smokeandsear.world/bbq-community/uk-bbq-whatsapp-community/

It’s 100% free — just a cracking community full of good people, BBQ chat, advice, inspiration, and a bit of the usual nonsense along the way.

Let’s see who makes the list this year 👊🔥

EMBER Pork Belly Lollipops with Bright Orange Pepper Drizzle, Crackling Crumb & Spring Onion

This one stopped me in my tracks.

Without a doubt, this is the best thing I’ve ever cooked in my 5-year BBQ journey. I’m not even exaggerating. It completely shocked me.

Sticky, smoky pork belly cooked low and slow with @fourge.bbq EMBER rub, braised until tender, skewered, dunked in glaze and tacked back up on the @ninjakitchenuk FlexFlame until it went dark, glossy and savage. Then finished with that bright orange pepper drizzle, crackling crumb and spring onion.

The pork came from @thecateringbutcher , and the full step-by-step recipe is now live over on the Smoke & Sear website:

https://www.smokeandsear.world/BBQ-recipes/ember-pork-belly-lollipops-with-bright-orange-pepper-drizzle-crackling-crumb/

Honestly, this cook had everything. Smoke. Stickiness. Crunch. Colour. And that EMBER rub did exactly what it was built to do.

Just two more weeks and I’ll be back with my BBQ family at @millington.hall.farm for the Community Cookout 2026 and I honestly cant bloody wait! 

So the question is, who’s joining this year?
