• Cooking a whole beef eye fillet on the BBQ is a fantastic way to impress your guests with a tender and flavourful cut of meat. Here’s how to do it:

    Preparation: Start by taking the beef eye fillet out of the fridge and allowing it to come to room temperature, around 30-60 minutes beforehand. This ensures even cooking. Meanwhile, prepare your BBQ for indirect cooking by heating one side to a medium-high temperature.

    Seasoning: Pat the fillet dry with kitchen paper and generously season it with salt and freshly ground black pepper. You can also rub it with a bit of olive oil and garlic or your choice of herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to enhance the flavour.

    Searing: Once the BBQ is ready, sear the fillet on the hot side for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a lovely brown crust. Use tongs to turn the meat, avoiding piercing it to keep the juices intact.

    Indirect Cooking: After searing, move the fillet to the cooler side of the BBQ. Close the lid and cook for around 30-40 minutes, depending on the desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 55°C (130°F); for medium, around 60°C (140°F).

    Resting: Once cooked to your liking, remove the fillet from the BBQ and let it rest on a chopping board, covered loosely with foil, for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat succulent.

    Serving: Slice the fillet against the grain into thick medallions and serve with your favourite sides, perhaps a crisp salad or roasted vegetables. Enjoy the rich, beefy flavour of your perfectly cooked eye fillet!

  • The sun-drenched afternoon beckons for a delightful barbecue, and what better way to celebrate the season than with juicy pork and sweet peach kebabs?

  • Indulge in the delightful flavours of Garlic Herb Grilled Shrimp Skewers, a perfect addition to your summer barbecues or a quick weeknight dinner. Begin by marinating plump, juicy prawns in a mixture of minced garlic, fresh herbs such as parsley and dill, a splash of zesty lemon juice, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Allow the prawns to soak up the flavours for at least half an hour, enhancing their natural sweetness.

    Once marinated, thread the shrimp onto skewers, taking care to alternate with colourful vegetables like bell peppers and courgettes for added vibrancy. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat and cook the skewers for around 3-4 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turns a lovely shade of pink and develops a slight char.

    Serve these succulent skewers straight off the grill, perhaps accompanied by a light salad or fluffy rice, allowing the fragrant aroma and robust flavours to transport you to a sun-kissed Mediterranean terrace. Bon appétit!

  • Air frying baby back pork ribs is a fantastic way to achieve tender, flavourful meat with a delightful crisp without the mess of traditional grilling. To start, remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs for better seasoning penetration. Pat the ribs dry with kitchen paper and rub them generously with your preferred blend of spices—paprika, garlic powder, and a hint of brown sugar work particularly well.

    Preheat your air fryer to around 180°C (350°F). Place the seasoned ribs in the basket, ensuring they fit comfortably; you might need to cut them in half if they're too large. Cook the ribs for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

    For an extra caramelised finish, brush on your favourite barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Once done, allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving. This method not only saves time but also yields succulent ribs that are sure to impress at any gathering.
