A delicious twist on bavette steak, perfect for BBQ enthusiasts.

Bavette, or flank steak, is a flavour-packed cut from the cow’s abdominal muscles. While it’s typically cooked hot and fast over coals, this recipe takes it to the next level. With a bit of prep and some tasty fillings, you’ll turn this steak into an impressive and delicious pinwheel. Let’s get rolling!

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak

    • Butterfly the Steak: Lay the bavette steak flat. With one hand on top, use a sharp knife to carefully cut through the middle of the steak, creating a butterfly effect. Leave about a 1cm edge intact.
    • Tenderize: Open the steak like a book and tenderize it using a meat mallet.
    • Season: Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the Filling

    • Layer: Start with a layer of spinach, followed by prosciutto and coppa. Top with thin sheets of Gouda cheese. Leave a 2cm edge all around.
    • Roll: Tightly roll the steak from bottom to top, ensuring the grain runs horizontally.
  3. Create the Pinwheels

    • Tie: Use butcher's twine to tie the rolled steak at 3cm intervals.
    • Skewer: Insert skewers through the roll, adjacent to each line of twine.
    • Slice: Cut into pinwheels between each line of twine.
  4. Cook the Pinwheels

    • Sear: Using a hot cast-iron skillet, sear the edges to create a crust and prevent the cheese from leaking out.
    • Grill: Place the pinwheels on the Kamado Joe grill with a deflector plate. Cook indirectly until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
    • Rest: Remove from heat, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Simple Beef Stew & Fire-Roasted Mash in the Kamado Joe

No thrills. No fancy edits. Just a proper wholesome family dinner cooked low and slow outdoors. Diced beef braising steak, smoked and stewed in the Smoke Pot, with jacket spuds roasted next to it and turned into mash — easy as you like.

Kept the reel as simple as the cook — no crazy angles, just real food, cooked for me and the kids. And sometimes, it’s the simple things that just hit the spot.

Not that you’ll need it, but the full recipe’s up on the website as usual 😉

Right then . . . @igulubeer got in touch and asked if I fancied giving their S1 Smart Home Brewing System a go 🍺

We had a few honest chats – I’ve never brewed beer before, but I do love trying out new gear, especially when there’s tech involved. They sent over the S1 – their latest smart brewing machine – along with a German Helles brew kit, and this reel shows the unboxing and kicking off that first ever brew.

Apparently, it takes 20 days until it’s ready to drink – so this is just the start.  There’ll be more coming soon as I pair a few brews with proper cooks off the BBQ 🔥#

Now, quick heads up – the S1 is currently out of stock in the UK. But if you like the look of it, stay tuned – once it’s back on sale, I should be able to sort you out with a cheeky discount 👀

Could this be the new bit of kit the BBQ shack was missing?

Let’s see how it turns out . . . 

What should I brew next?

🔥 Beef Shin Ragu – But Make It BBQ.

This ain’t your average ragu. Smoked low ‘n slow on the @kamadojoeuk , using shin from the legends at @villagebutchers and cooked in the beastly @kamagearhq Smoke Pot – this one’s a comfort food knockout.

First, we give the beef a kiss of oak smoke, then braise it in a rich red wine and tomato sauce with a cheeky hit of dark chocolate and cream to finish. Silky, smoky, proper belly-hugging stuff. Serve it with pappardelle, creamy mash or polenta and let the silence at the table speak for itself.

💥 Perfect for Autumn cook-ups. Even better the next day (if it lasts that long).
