Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak:

    • Freeze the bavette steak for 30 minutes to ease slicing.
    • Slice thinly against the grain for tenderness.
    • Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Fire Up the Ninja Woodfire Grill:

    • Insert the Grill Flat Plate (or equivalent accessory).
    • Preheat using the “Grill” function on high for 20 minutes with the lid closed.
  3. Toast the Rolls:

    • Spread a thin layer of butter on the sliced rolls.
    • Place them on the flat plate to toast until golden. Set aside.
  4. Cook the Onions and Peppers:

    • Add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the grill plate.
    • Sauté the onions for 5-7 minutes until soft with a charred edge.
    • Add the peppers and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Optionally, splash some Worcestershire sauce for an extra hit of flavour.
    • Move to the side of the plate to make space for the steak.
  5. Cook the Steak:

    • Cook portions of the sliced steak (enough for one sandwich at a time) on the flat plate for 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Mix in 2 slices of processed cheese while grilling and allow it to melt into the steak.
  6. Assemble the Cheesesteak:

    • Layer cooked steak onto the toasted roll base.
    • Top with onions, peppers, and 3 slices of Gouda.
    • Close the roll and place it back on the grill. Close the lid briefly to allow the cheese to melt and flavours to meld.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Use a large spatula to transfer the assembled cheesesteak to a plate.
    • Repeat for the remaining portions.

Not just cooked . . . this tomahawk was forged in fire.

Reverse-cooked low ‘n slow, then straight-up dirty seared right on the coals for that primal crust. Finished with a fat slice of cowboy butter — melted over the top with a chunk of red-hot charcoal.

Flavour? Savage.
Style? Full caveman.
Crust? Absolute filth.

Right then — first brew DONE, and what better way to mark it than cooking up something to go with it 🍗🍺

If you saw my reel 20 days ago, @igulubeer had sent me their S1 Smart Home Brewing System (gifted) — and this was the moment of truth. First pour, first taste, and my first ever beer used in a BBQ recipe.

I grilled up some beer-brined, honey beer glazed chicken thighs on the @ninjakitchenuk Woodfire, dropped ’em into warm naan pockets with salad, poured over some of that leftover glaze, and got stuck in 🔥

⸻

🧂 Beer Brine:

	•	250ml cold water
	•	250ml of my freshly brewed German Helles
	•	50g salt
	•	25g sugar
	•	1 garlic clove (smashed)
	•	1 bay leaf
	•	5–6 peppercorns

Brined boneless, skinless chicken thighs for 6 hours, patted them dry, and cracked on.

⸻

🍯 Honey Beer Glaze:

	•	150ml beer
	•	2 tbsp honey
	•	1.5 tbsp French’s yellow mustard
	•	1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
	•	1 tsp smoked paprika
	•	Salt & pepper
	•	Knob of butter

Simmered until it thickened up and got sticky, then basted the chicken in the last few mins.

⸻

🔥 Cooked in the Ninja Woodfire:

	•	Grill Mode: HIGH
	•	Around 10–12 mins, flipping halfway
	•	Glazed the last 3–4 mins ’til it was glossy and banging

⸻

Served it all in naan pockets with fresh salad, poured over some of that leftover glaze, and washed it down with a cold pint of the beer I brewed myself. Not gonna lie — for a first try, I’m proper impressed 👌

The only problem? I’ve no CO2 setup yet, so the keg needs finishing sharpish . . . looks like it’s gonna be a very decent night 😂

👉 What should I brew next?

1 year to the day . . . and I still can’t believe little old me was flown to Nashville by @ninjakitchenuk . First time in America, first time doing anything like that — honestly one of the biggest moments of my BBQ life. And yep, the FlexFlame review I wrote back then is still getting loads of daily traffic too. Madness.
Simple Beef Stew & Fire-Roasted Mash in the Kamado Joe

No thrills. No fancy edits. Just a proper wholesome family dinner cooked low and slow outdoors. Diced beef braising steak, smoked and stewed in the Smoke Pot, with jacket spuds roasted next to it and turned into mash — easy as you like.

Kept the reel as simple as the cook — no crazy angles, just real food, cooked for me and the kids. And sometimes, it’s the simple things that just hit the spot.

Not that you’ll need it, but the full recipe’s up on the website as usual 😉

Right then . . . @igulubeer got in touch and asked if I fancied giving their S1 Smart Home Brewing System a go 🍺

We had a few honest chats – I’ve never brewed beer before, but I do love trying out new gear, especially when there’s tech involved. They sent over the S1 – their latest smart brewing machine – along with a German Helles brew kit, and this reel shows the unboxing and kicking off that first ever brew.

Apparently, it takes 20 days until it’s ready to drink – so this is just the start.  There’ll be more coming soon as I pair a few brews with proper cooks off the BBQ 🔥#

Now, quick heads up – the S1 is currently out of stock in the UK. But if you like the look of it, stay tuned – once it’s back on sale, I should be able to sort you out with a cheeky discount 👀

Could this be the new bit of kit the BBQ shack was missing?

Let’s see how it turns out . . . 

What should I brew next?
