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!

There’s only ONE way to smash a tomahawk . . . 

Smoke it low over oak ‘til it hits 49°C, then slam it straight into the coals for a dirty, crust-building sear up to 53°C.

Thin slices. Cowboy butter melting all over.

Medium-rare. Maximum flavour. Zero compromise.

Timed my dog walk just right again today . . . 

If you know me, you’ll know I often plan my dog walks around the @typhoondisplayteam Practice flights over @rafconingsby – and today didn’t disappoint!

Rather than uploading the full 8-minute display, I’ve trimmed it down to the highlights – the moments you can really see (and hear!) the power of the jet. Trust me, picking highlights from Nathan’s display isn’t easy – the whole thing is so bloody epic it feels wrong cutting any of it!

I’ve focused on the bits where I managed to get up close(ish) to the action. The ultra-low, high-speed flyovers are insane, but they’re so fast and often behind the trees or fence line that I usually miss them . . . every time! Ha!

Anyway – enjoy this condensed version of one of the UK’s finest displays in action.

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.
