Sometimes all you need is chicken on a stick

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Some incredible steaks with incredible friends!

I reverse seared tonight as these were pretty thick! Very happy with the results.

It’s been a brilliantly manic few days, as always. I didn’t manage to get any pictures of complete meals but here’s a little selection of what I’ve been cooking. I hope every single person who follows me had a great Christmas and wish you all@the best for the new year! 🍻

Some lovely meaty baby backs from I cooked over the weekend.

Rubbed with honey hog wash then glazed with .co.uk bbq sauce

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of cooking for a good friends birthday. I asked what he’d like and all he answered was meat!

So I came up with this. Chuck steak that I injected with a good quality beef stock the night before the cook. I then smoked for a few hours before brining in more beef stock. Who would of though beef injected with beef, cooked in beef would be amazing!!

What an amazing place for a holiday and what an amazing place to cook!

Some of the best bavette steaks I’ve had, thanks to a little advise from the steak king himself !

Topped off with the amazing chimmichurri sauce from .co.uk it went down very well!

Having taking the small but mighty .official Explorer on a little journey, I just had to get cooking on it!

I had to join in all of these fantastic cooks!

I used some 20% fat beef mince from our local butcher mixed with half an onion and some gaucho rub.

I tried these taco smash burgers a couple of weeks ago and have been itching to try them again. Really make a nice change to a conventional burger.

Topped off with the awesome funkin burger sauce from .co.uk it made for a top dinner!

Taco smash burgers!

I had to give these a go after seeing everyone else cooking them. They didn’t disappoint.

Topped with the awesome .co.uk Funkin’ burger sauce. If you haven’t tried it yet,
I can’t recommend it enough.

Still one of my favourite meals. Pit beans and jacket potatoes!

A couple of lovely sirloins from the weekend.

Topped off with some Chimmichurri from .co.uk. Has to be one of the best accompaniments for a steak!

No thrills, just chicken and veg on a skewer!

I ACTUALLY GOT A COOK IN!

I really enjoyed today. Found a bit of time to down tools (extension is still on going) and lit the kamado!

A nice easy cook with some smash burgers, great food with the family!

After accidentally eating all four kebabs last week my wife requested I get some more!

Miles very kindly diced some steak up and put the marinade in the bag so she didn’t miss out (as they has all sold out!)

Definitely hit the spot! Also got to try out my new mega long skewers I got for my birthday!

It’s been a while I know! A lot going on with extensions. But wanted to share tonight’s cook as by shear chance I drove past this place on my way home from work.

I had a great chat with at and bought some goodies for today and the weekend.

These piri piri marinated steak kebabs were bang on! Look out for the beautiful pieces of sirloin I bought soon!

Chilli smash burgers!

Smash burgers are pretty good as they are but these were even better with a good helping of chilli I cooked over the weekend!

Grill - .official V2
Fuel - ach15

A little bit of a theme this week but I do love a curry. By far one of my favourite things to cook on a bbq. It really does take the dish to another level.

This time I had a go at the chicken jalfrezi. Another absolute cracker!

I love the chunky veg in a jalfrezi and served with left over Bombay aloo this really did hit the spot!

I’m having a lot of fun putting the new .official V2 through its paces.

Here is the pork stir fry from the other night. Really simple nothing fancy just pork shoulder steaks cut into strips and rubbed in fools gold. With a little onion, broccoli, baby corn and peppers. Served with egg noodles.

A cracking little haul from the launch party last night. Thank you Jay and the boys for putting on an awesome event!

was incredible!
was hilarious
smashed it out of the park
And it was great to meet the .greetbbqpodcast lads

Already looking forward to next year being even bigger and even better! If that’s possible….

I don’t know how many of these your supposed to eat in one go but I’ve jus eaten five….

As part of the care package I ordered from had to be these amazing red miso skewers. If you haven’t tried them you really really must!

Time to start using some freezer leftovers whilst the extension progresses.

Pulled pork fajitas mixed with a good splash of sweet embers bbq sauce from

So here is my entry for the restaurant roulette competition.

Venison loin which was shot and butchered less than a mile from where I live. Served with a port and cranberry sauce, potato rosti and pac choy

The only downside was that I was up against who as always produced an absolute belter!

Good luck everyone left in the competition!

So after I accidentally ordered a little too much lamb mince I found this recipe in the bible which definitely helped to use it up!

The flavour once again were incredible in part to cooking the keema twice.

Once again, I can recommend this book enough.

Chicken burgers were requested for dinner tonight, and I knew exactly what I was going to do.

I butterflied the chicken breast and added a small amount of Al pastor rub. Then whilst the chicken was cooking I basted with the Korean sweet chilli sauce

The flavour of this sauce is amazing! Nice and tangy and not too spicy (my five year old ate a whole burger!)

A perfect Saturday night meal!

A little bit of perfecting tonight.

I wanted to play around with the amounts of each ingredient in preparation for the recipe - Black pudding smash burgers

It nearly there, I’ll have to give it another go to be sure!

This is part two of my five day curry cook. The pre stewing of the leg of lamb.
This amazing piece of meat is a 2kg dry aged leg of lamb form our local butcher. Look at the colour! 😍

Once again I (sort of) followed the recipe form the bible although if I’m being honest I shouldn’t of cooked it that night. To much going on with work and life and didn’t read the recipe properly 🤦🏻‍♂️

Firstly I was supposed to cut up the leg (I didn’t I put it in whole)
Secondly I put the ground spices in way too early which soaked up all the oil.
Thirdly there was a fair bit of thick fat covering the top that I should of cut off.

So I’m the end I had to take the whole piece out and cut it up then put it back in the pot for another half an hour or so. So not really a problem in the end.

The plus side was the smells coming out of the kitchen were unbelievable!

Check out my last reel for the spice stock and look out for Part three tomorrow

To help you all take your mind of going back to work tomorrow, I thought I’d get this very special edition of “Nice to grill you” up

These two legendary characters have been cooking up a storm here on instagram and I can’t wait to see what they do next!

Enjoy this edition and please share to your stories if you can and help me spread this far and wide!

After getting the bible as a Christmas present there was only one thing to do with the leftovers!

Turkey Pathia with roast potato Bombay Aloo

I already had the base sauce in the freezer so that made these dishes a lot quicker.

Wow did this hit the spot!

Reel to follow

A lovely sirloin last night rubbed with the one and only black gold

This really takes steak to another level!

Who says it’s too cold to cook outside??
Pizza night in the snow.

Salami with jalapeño flakes and their signature hot honey. There really isn’t any other pizza topping for me!

Layla the snow girl approves!
