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.

Today at 10:28am (Tuesday 22nd April 2025) I witnessed the best @typhoondisplayteam of the year — 100% the best I’ve seen!

Squadron Leader Nathan Shawyer absolutely smashed it over @rafconingsby

There I was . . . iPhone in one hand, Wren (the dog) strapped to my waist, being swarmed by flies (note to self: change aftershave), trying to capture the magic.

Worth every buzz and bite — turn your sound up and enjoy this beauty!

P.S. Don’t worry, the dog you can hear barking in the video occasionally wasn’t Wren . . .

Others had come out to watch the display with their lovely dogs too — one clearly less keen on the noise from the jets haha.

When the kids ask for smashburgers . . . who am I to argue?
And being kids, they like ’em just so. No greenery in sight – ha!

Toasted @stpierreuk brioche buns, a slather of @angusandoink Comeback sauce, double smash patties with properly melted cheese, topped off with our own bacon jam – made fresh, same way every single time. A proper house favourite. Bit of crispy onions on top and that’s it. Simple. Smashy. And they all leave with full bellies and big smiles – that’s what it’s all about.

All cooked on the mighty @blackstoneproducts griddle, and yep . . . even air-fried the chips while making the jam and burgers. We don’t mess about.

First cook on the new Blackstone – had to break it in with a kid-friendly Full English!

Went with the classics: sausages, hash browns, bacon, beans, fried eggs, griddled tomatoes, fried bread and of course… potato waffles (because kids).

Set the Blackstone up with different zones for each bit – sausages and waffles in the hotter section, eggs and bread on the low zone. Used the integrated air fryer basket for the hash browns and the warm drawer came in clutch for holding bits while the rest cooked.

Cooking on the Blackstone is FAST.

You’ve got to juggle it all a bit, but it’s mad satisfying once you get into the rhythm. This wasn’t a fancy cook – just a proper hearty breakfast to get used to the griddle.

The kids? They rated it 10,000,000 out of 10, which either means I’m a breakfast legend or they need a maths lesson.

Either way, I’ll take it.

Plenty more cooks coming – this was just the start.

🍍🔥 Pineapple Express Pulled Pork — with shatter-crisp crackling so savage, you’ll hear it from three streets over.

Massive love to @villagebutchers for sending me this absolute unit of a pork leg (9kg of bone-in, rind-on beauty). Injected it with pineapple rum, spun it low ‘n slow on the rotisserie, then crowned it with crispy shards of crackling like some kind of BBQ king 👑

Cooked this beast on the @everdurebyhestonblumenthal Hub 2 — first time I’ve fired it up in ages. Truth be told, I was sent it back in May 2023 to review . . . but with the house move, life chaos and all that jazz, it’s been sat in the garage gathering dust. Good job I kept hold of it — it’s the only kit I own that could handle the sheer size and weight of this bad boy.

Wanna try it yourself? Full step-by-step recipe is live now:
