Flat Iron Steak

Given a light coat of Smokey Joe's Rubs SPG, then grilled direct in the Weber, over Heat Beads BBQ coconut shell briquettes.

3-4mins each side, til it hit 125f internal. Then pulled off and rested in foil, while I charred some corn to serve with it.

Pulled out the old trusty “Cleaver Crew” custom Picanha knife from Facas Medeiros / AUS, and sliced the steak thinly on my theaustralianbrisketboard Steak Board.
Served it up with the corn, some chips, and a drizzle of Smokey Joe's Rubs’ brand new Chimichurri.

Can’t finish a weekend much better than that.

Tomahawk with Chimichurri

Tomahawk steak, coated with Coast n Smoke SPG
Then cooked indirectly in the Weber, using Heat Beads BBQ original briquettes, til it was 120f internal.
Off for a rest… while I stoked up the heat, and grilled some corn. Then seared the steak for a minute on each side to get the crust.

Sliced with my Facas Medeiros / AUS 10” Chimango slicer, and served on my The Australian Brisket Board Steak board with Toads Kitchen Cupboard Chimichurri, the grilled corn and a fresh salad.

Slam Dunk Wings

Hot and crispy wings, dunked in sweet and sticky sauce.

Coated the wing with Grill Society BBQ “The Good Stuff”

Fired up some Heat Beads BBQ original briquettes, then dumped them into my Krispy Kone from CLD Fabrication, for that super hot indirect cook.

Cooked for around 30-35mins, rotating the lid a third of a turn every 10 or so minutes. Result: super crispy skin, while still remaining juicy inside.

Served up on my The Australian Brisket Board Aussie Hardwood Serving Board… then dunked in Grill Society BBQ Signature BBQ Sauce, which I’d warmed in the kettle during the cook.

Sweet, sticky, with a nice crispy bite through skin… slam dunk!

Lamb Cutlets
Rubbed with Spring Creek BBQ Baa’barian Rub for that perfect hit of flavour, then kissed by flames & smoke in the Weber kettle using trusty Heat Beads BBQ original briquettes.

Got the cook in just before the rain hit… talk about timing! Served up on the stunning The Australian Brisket Board hardwood board, because presentation matters too.

Simple, smoky, and bloody delicious. 🐑 🥩🔥

🎯 Tacos hit differently when you’re cooking with Herb & Garlic Kangaroo kebabs from the legends at K-ROO 🇦🇺🔥

Grilled over Heat Beads BBQ Wood Charcoal briquettes (the green bag… perfect for that direct, smoky cook), this roo meat stayed juicy, tender, and absolutely bursting with flavour. 🌿🦘

Served up on The Australian Brisket Board (because presentation matters) and wrapped in La Banderita Tortillas Australasia by OLÉ Mexican Foods tortillas, these tacos got a simple upgrade: crisp lettuce, grated cheese, and a dollop of mayo to tie it all together. 🥬🧀👌

Kangaroo is lean, full of protein, and punches well above its weight when it comes to flavour. If you’re looking for something different to throw on the grill this summer, give roo a go. I promise you won’t regret it. 🙌

Wet weather? No dramas. Knocked out these tiger prawn skewers in no time and ticked off another ‘cook more seafood’ resolution while I was at it. 🦐🔥

Grilled hot and fast on the Weber GA for 90 seconds per side, over Heat Beads BBQ Wood Charcoal Briquettes (the green bag for the win). Coated these bad boys in Coast n Smoke “The 13th Apostle” rub for a flavour punch and served them up on my with lime wedges and a chilli mayo dipping sauce, spiked with nomadchillico Tamarind Gold.

Quick, easy, and bloody delicious. Wouldn’t mind a few more right now… who’s keen? 🍤🌶️🔥

🔥 Hot & Fast Porterhouse 🔥

Sometimes, it’s all about keeping it simple and letting quality shine. This Porterhouse steak hit the Weber GA with Heat Beads BBQ Mini Lump Charcoal bringing the heat, and next level flavour. A quick sear, a short rest, and it was showtime.

Sliced up with my Facas Medeiros / AUS Artisan BBQ knife on my The Australian Brisket Board steak board before hitting the plate. Served with golden chips and a crisp salad because, honestly, what more do you need? 🥩🍟🥗

How’d I go?
