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.

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.
