Instructions

  1. Dry Brining the Tomahawk Steak

    Pat the Tomahawk steak dry and place it on a wire rack over a baking tray. Generously sprinkle with high-quality salt and leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight. This enhances the flavour and tenderness.

  2. Preparing the Everdure Hub II

    Place your charcoal on the stainless steel insert and ignite. Once the coals are hot and ashed over, push them to one side under where you’ll cook the steak. Keep an eye on the coals, topping up as needed to maintain a steady heat.

  3. Attaching the Steak to the Rotisserie

    Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Coat it with SPG rub. Secure the steak onto the rotisserie rod with Butcher’s Code Rotisserie Elastic and Cotton Blend to ensure it stays steady.

  4. Slow Cooking the Steak

    • Set the rotisserie to the highest setting and cook slowly. Use a MEATER to monitor the internal temperature remotely. Add oak chunks to the embers for a smoky flavor. Cook until the steak reaches the desired internal temperature (see temperature guide below).

    Steak Doneness Guide:

    • Rare: 45°C / 113°F (rotisserie) → 49°C / 120°F (searing) → 51°C / 125°F (final)
    • Medium Rare: 49°C / 120°F (rotisserie) → 53°C / 127°F (searing) → 54°C / 130°F (final)
    • Medium: 55°C / 131°F (rotisserie) → 58°C / 136°F (searing) → 60°C / 140°F (final)
    • Medium Well: 60°C / 140°F (rotisserie) → 63°C / 145°F (searing) → 65°C / 150°F (final)
    • Well Done: 65°C / 149°F (rotisserie) → 71°C / 160°F (searing) → 74°C / 165°F (final)
  5. Whipping Up the Chimichurri

    Slice off the top of the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil and salt, and wrap in foil. Roast in embers for 40-45 minutes. Roast peppers (15-20 minutes) and tomatoes (10-15 minutes) on the grill. Let peppers steam in a covered bowl. Blend all roasted veggies with parsley, oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and red pepper flakes until mixed.

  6. The Searing Finale

    With a hot bed of coals, sear the steak directly on the coals for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes.

  7. Grilling the Asparagus

    Coat asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill until tender and slightly charred.

  8. The Grand Finale

    Slice the steak off the bone and into thin slices. Plate with grilled asparagus and drizzle with chimichurri. Enjoy your BBQ masterpiece!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year . . . 

2025 has been a huge personal challenge but with the kids by my side there is no obstacle we can’t overcome . . . and we’ve made sure we’ve had plenty of fun on the way.

I’ve been slacking off a little with the ‘U.K. BBQ scene’ lately and content creation . . . but behind the scenes I’ve been working on something honestly HUGE and within a month or two I’ll be able to share something that, well, is going to change the U.K BBQ game for sure!  I’m excited just thinking about it . . . 

I want to thank all those who’ve been checking in lately and the thousands and thousands of people who still rely on my Website and WhatsApp Community to help support their own BBQ journey . . . It still amazes me how many of you use what I’ve created.

2026 . . . Let’s do this!  It’s gonna be a wild ride!
Today marks one year since I relaunched the Smoke & Sear website — and honestly, I thought it wouldn’t survive.

With everyone jumping to AI for recipes and reviews, I genuinely expected my little BBQ site to fade away.

But you proved me wrong.

Massively wrong.

Here are 10 epic facts from the first 12 months:

🔥 Nearly 180,000 new people visited the site — enough to fill Wembley twice.

🔥 People from 100+ countries used the site this year.

🔥 The USA alone sent 51,000+ visitors.

🔥 Perfect Pulled Pork was read 32,947 times.

🔥 Ninja content smashed 100,000+ views across Woodfire & FlexFlame reviews.

🔥 Pages were loaded hundreds of thousands of times overall.

🔥 The UK BBQ Events 2025 page hit 7,200+ readers.

🔥 Brisket content pulled 13,000+ views… and I’ve only cooked TWO briskets in my entire life. 😂

🔥 Even the 404 page somehow got 8,406 views.

🔥 And my honest, unsponsored reviews were read over 92,000 times — real testing that people actually trust.

I can’t thank you enough for reading, cooking, sharing, messaging, and keeping this whole thing alive.

In a year where everyone said websites were dead . . . you showed me that real cooks, real stories, and real honesty still matter.

Here’s to year two — bigger, hotter, smokier, and even more ridiculous. 🔥❤️

Coffee-Infused Beef Short Ribs slathered in a bourbon & maple sauce that was so good I nearly licked the plate clean . . . twice.

Rich, sticky, smoky, sweet, boozy — proper grown-up BBQ that hits different.

🔥 The real star though? That sauce.

Here’s how you make it — trust me, you’ll wanna bookmark this one:

🧪 Bourbon & Maple BBQ Sauce

	•	160g Maple Syrup
	•	80g @woodfordreserve Bourbon
	•	60g Ketchup
	•	60g Brown Sugar
	•	4 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
	•	4 tsp @norfolk_smoke_pit ‘Brew & Briskets’ Rub

Chuck it all in a pan, simmer it down, and let the magic happen. It’s sticky, boozy BBQ gold.

📸 Would I make these again? Absolutely.

⏪ Did I cook these exact ribs 4 years ago to the day? You bet I did.
1 year living next door to RAF Coningsby . . . and what a year it’s been.

Didn’t miss a single Typhoon display practice, caught every Red Arrows pass I could, and those Lancaster moments over the garden will always feel special.

Here’s a little montage of just some of the magic I’ve seen this year.

Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings. ✈️🔥
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.
