🔥 Korean BBQ Sirloin Steak Lettuce Wraps 🔥

Sticky, spicy, seared sirloin straight off the BBQ, topped with spring onion salsa and loaded into crisp gem lettuce cups. Bit of rice, squeeze of lime, job’s a good’un.

Kept it simple tonight and fired up the @weberuk Go-Anywhere - picked it up on holiday a couple years back and it’s still going strong. Just cooking for me tonight, so no need to light up the big boys.

And to nail that perfect medium rare? Let the @meatermade take the stress out of it - never misses.

Full recipe’s up on the website now - go give it a bash and tag me if you do 🔥
5 Years of Smoke, Sear & (a bit of) Madness 🔥

Can you believe it’s been 5 bloody years since I chucked away the £5 disposable BBQ and started this mad little journey?

Since then, life’s changed in more ways than I can count – personally, privately, professionally – but one thing that’s stayed constant through it all? 

. . . Standing behind that BBQ, burning meat and turning mistakes into magic.

Honestly . . . if it wasn’t for this BBQ community – a few proper legends especially – I don’t know how I’d have got through some of the darker days last year. But here we are. 

🔥 The socials? I see you.

20.5k on Insta, 9.6k on Facebook, 7.5k on TikTok, the WhatsApp community buzzing, and that little Ninja Woodfire UK group? Now 25.3k strong. Mental.

But let’s be honest . . . as much as I love the likes and the banter – the thing I’m proper proud of?

💻 My little corner of the internet – smokeandsear.world

– Over 113,000 unique users this year
– Over 209,000 page views
– And just under 100 completely free recipes uploaded YTD.

All hand-crafted by yours truly, probably while wearing Crocs and talking to myself about rub ratios.

I started that site during lockdown just to share what I was learning. Now it’s a full-blown BBQ resource hub helping thousands every month. Mad.

So yeah . . . big love to everyone who’s followed, supported, messaged, shared, or even just lurked silently in the background. You're part of this.

Can’t wait to see what other crazy arse ways I come up with to help push the UK BBQ scene forward 🔥

Stay smoky. Stay saucy. And keep cooking outside
🔥 Korean Gochujang Baby Back Ribs – Ninja Woodfire style 🔥

Sweet, smoky, spicy and sticky – these ribs are straight-up flavour bombs. Five-hour marinade, slow smoke in the Ninja Woodfire, wrapped in buttery honey foil, and glazed to perfection. That bark? Glorious. That bite? Fall-off-the-bone filth.

Big thanks to @villagebutchers for the banging baby backs – proper quality.

Served ‘em up with sticky rice, kimchi and a sprinkle of black sesame. Keep it simple. Let the ribs do the talking.

👉 Full recipe’s on the website, as always – link in bio or hit up www.smokeandsear.world
🔥 SMOKED BEEF CHEEKS – CONFIT STYLE 🔥

Low ‘n slow smoke. Bathed in beef dripping. Pulled like butter.

Forget brisket – this is beef cheeks done my way on the Kamado Joe. Smoked for bark, confit in tallow ‘til melt-in-the-mouth.

Sliced? Shredded? Squashed in your hand caveman-style? Doesn’t matter – it’s all ridiculous.

What I served it with:

🌽 Corn ribs with lime & spice
🧅 Pickled red onions for that zing
🧀 Mac & cheese because . . . obviously
🍞 Mini brioche rolls for cheeky little beef sliders

It’s messy, it’s juicy, it’s a full-blown backyard feast.

👇 Shout-outs to the legends behind the gear & grub:

🔥 Caribbean platter all cooked in the Bradley Raven electric smoker 🔥

Smoked jerk pork belly burnt ends, chicken thighs, sweet potato wedges, pineapple fingers, corn ribs finished with a hit of @lincolnshiredrizzleco lemon dressing (local and lush), plus a sticky scotch bonnet onion jam for good measure.

Everything cooked low ‘n’ slow in the Raven – step-by-step recipe is up on the website now if you fancy giving it a bash.

@bradleysmoker_europe kindly gifted me the smoker to make a bit of content with – safe to say it’s earning its keep already.
