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.

DRAGON, edge of the sky.

Flt Lt Tom Nation, the 2026 RAF Typhoon Display Pilot, putting the Typhoon through its paces over Coningsby.

Tom’s name is now on the jet, the black flying suit is on, the helmet has been unveiled, and the 2026 display season is starting to feel very real.

The aircraft, the pilot, the team behind it — all coming together for what looks like it’s going to be an unbelievable season.

Fast, precise, aggressive, controlled . . . and absolutely breathtaking to watch.

Dirty-Seared Côte de Boeuf with Cowboy Butter 🔥

Picked up this absolute beauty from @mountainsfarmshop in East Heckington, Lincolnshire — proper local butcher, proper bit of beef.

This is the way I like to cook a big thick steak like a Côte de Boeuf / bone-in ribeye.

Cooked in the @kamadojoeuk over @bigkproductsltd lumpwood — and this bit matters: use good quality lumpwood, fully lit and burning clean. You want heat and crust, not a steak that tastes like a shed fire.

I also used some @fourge.bbq whisky oak we’re currently testing.

Temps tracked with the @meatermade , because guessing on a steak like this is how you turn dinner into financial regret.

Finished with cowboy butter, rested, sliced, juices back over the top.

Simple process. Big flavour. No bollocks.

Comment COWBOY and I’ll send you the link to my website with the full step-by-step guide for how I cook a steak like this, plus how I make the cowboy butter.

Hope this new step-by-step, no-bollocks format helps. 🔥

Spatchcock chicken on the Ninja FlexFlame 🔥

Kept it simple, kept it juicy, and hit it properly with SPARK rub by @fourge.bbq — bright, herby, lemony, and bang on for chicken.

Barbecue without the bollocks.

What should I cook next? 👀

This was, I believe, the last @raf_typhoondisplayteam display practice before Flt Lt Tom Nation’s PDA at RAF Coningsby later this week . . . and what a display to watch.

If all goes well, this is the final step before Tom begins public Typhoon displays around the country and beyond for the 2026 season. Living near RAF Coningsby means I’ve been lucky enough to watch so many of these Typhoon display practices and workups as they’ve built towards this point, and honestly, seeing the progress, precision, confidence and sheer power of the jet has been incredible.

So Flt Lt Tom Nation – DRAGON01, if you ever happen to see this, go absolutely smash your PDA mate. You’re a legend. Go DRAGON.

Welcome to what’s more than likely my first and last attempt at doing unplanned face-to-camera content . . . and episode one of ‘BBQ Ain’t F*****G Difficult’ 😂

The kids wanted pulled pork, so I stuck a shoulder on, used @fourge.bbq EMBER rub — best there is, obviously — and talked my way through the cook without overcomplicating it.

Because that’s the point really. Pulled pork is forgiving, BBQ doesn’t need gatekeeping, and not every cook needs to be made out like some pitmaster secret.

After @chumsbbq kept dropping edits of my “interview” from The Big Community Cookup last week, I thought any video I made myself couldn’t be more embarrassing than that . . . jury’s still out.

P.S Sorry Mum, I’ll rinse this potty mouth out soon. Blame the nerves . . .

Oh good f*****g lord . . . I think I’ve just witnessed the best Typhoon display I’ve seen yet.

Today was proper grim as well — cold, windy, dark moody skies, low cloud cover — but somehow that just made it even better. The whole thing felt more dramatic, more aggressive, more powerful. That sky absolutely set the mood.

And Flt Lt Tom Nation – DRAGON01 . . . good lord mate. How the hell he went straight from take-off into that display is on another level. That was unreal.
