Instructions

  1. Dry Brining the Beef:

    Coat the beef rump joint generously with salt. Place it in the fridge to dry brine overnight. This will season the meat deeply and help tenderize it.

  2. Morning Prep:

    Take the beef out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Rub it all over with Worcestershire sauce. Then, sprinkle with black pepper and garlic powder for added flavor.

  3. Fire Up the Grill:

    Heat up your Everdure Hub 2 using lump charcoal. Aim for a grill temp around 150-160°C for an even cook. Get your MEATER or thermometer ready to track the internal beef temperature.

  4. Cooking the Beef:

    For medium-rare, pull the beef when it reaches 55-57°C. Let it rest for 30 minutes, so those juices redistribute.

  5. Toasting the Baguettes:

    While the beef rests, slice the baguettes and toast them over the coals to get that perfect crisp, slightly charred texture.

  6. Making the Zesty Sauce:

    In a bowl, mix 2 parts English mustard, 1 part horseradish sauce, and 3 parts mayonnaise. Adjust for your preferred kick—spicy or mellow.

  7. Assembling the Sandwich:

    Slice the rested beef thinly. Slather the toasted baguette with the zesty sauce, layer on the beef slices, add a handful of fresh rocket, and finish with another drizzle of the sauce.

  8. Serve and Enjoy:

    Slice each baguette in half, serve up, and watch the magic happen as everyone digs in!

Make Ahead: Dry brine the beef the night before and prep your sauce early to cut down on last-minute stress.

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.
