For the Lamb

For the Crumb

For the Greek-Style Potatoes

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Crumb

    • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
    • Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion, cooking for a few minutes until softened.
    • Stir in the chopped rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for another minute and remove from heat.
    • Combine the mixture with the fresh breadcrumbs in a bowl. Set aside.

  2. Searing the Lamb

    • Season the rack of lamb all over with salt and pepper.
    • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a clean skillet over high heat.
    • Sear the lamb for 1-2 minutes on all sides, then remove from heat.
    • Brush the lamb with mustard and roll in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
    • Cover the bones with foil to prevent charring.

  3. Cooking the Lamb

    • Preheat your BBQ or smoker to 175°C (350°F).
    • Roast the rack, bone side down, in the skillet until it reaches an internal temperature of 60°C (140°F) for medium doneness.
    • Remove from heat and loosely cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.

  4. Preparing the Greek-Style Potatoes

    • Boil the chopped potatoes for about 10 minutes until soft but not mushy. Drain and let them steam dry in the colander.
    • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the potatoes, crushing them slightly, and cook for about 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they have a nice brown crust.
    • Add the sliced red onion, crushed garlic, dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook for another 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
    • Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley.

You’ll have seen @fourge.bbq pop up yesterday.

I wanted to take a moment to explain what that means for me — and for Smoke & Sear.

Smoke & Sear didn’t start as a plan or a brand. It started when I invested in my first smoker and fell headfirst into outdoor cooking. Along the way, I discovered a growing, supportive BBQ community on Instagram — people sharing knowledge, encouraging each other, and genuinely wanting to see the UK BBQ scene grow.

I loved it.

From that point on, Smoke & Sear became my way of giving something back. Sharing what I was learning, being honest about the wins and the mistakes, testing gear, highlighting good people, and doing my small bit to help grow UK BBQ in a positive way.

That’s never changed.

Smoke & Sear is still me. Still community-first. Still about learning, sharing, and supporting where I can.

But being one person, there’s only so much reach you can have on your own.

Being part of @fourge.bbq opens that up.

FOURGE is a separate venture built with three mates — bigger in scope, broader in ambition, and built to do things I simply couldn’t do solo. Cooking at events, building products, creating experiences, and pushing UK BBQ forward in a different way.

What matters most to me is that the values stay the same.
Supporting the community. Sharing knowledge. Bringing people together over fire and food.

Smoke & Sear continues exactly as it is.

FOURGE is the next chapter alongside it.

I’m genuinely excited about what’s coming — and if you’ve ever backed what I’ve been building here, I’d love your support over at @fourge.bbq too.

Let’s see how far we can take this 🔥

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. 🔥❤️
