We’ve given this grass-fed Argentinian Rump Heart a European makeover, but keeping with their traditional slow and low cooking style.
Café de Paris is a butter for steak flavoured with a mix of herbs, spices and savoury condiments. Despite the name, it originates from Switzerland, popularised by a restaurant called "Café de Paris". Now a staple steak accompaniment around the world (including in Paris!), slices of this compound butter are placed on hot steaks so they melt to form a butter sauce. If you want to show off and you’re using a charcoal BBQ, you can use a red-hot piece of charcoal to melt the butter on top of the steak for a few seconds.

This whole French chicken is raised on a specialised diet of mostly corn which adds a unique depth of flavour and delicate sweet taste of this beautiful meat. The name for ‘Marry Me’ Chicken, was from Lindsay Funston’s 2016 recipe for Delish and came about accidentally. After cooking the chicken dish, Ms. Funston’s video producer took a bite and declared, ‘I’d marry you for that chicken!’ according to the New York Times. This is the enthusiastic reaction that sparked the name.
Now we’re not sure if you should use this recipe as a precursor to a proposal, but it’s certainly an absolute banger of a dish, boasting extra umami from the sundried tomatoes and parmesan and using a premium, beautiful chicken. We give this a smokehouse twist by smoking the chicken to take this to the next level.

A classic BIR (British Indian Restaurant) curry, beloved in curry houses and by their customers up and down the country. With its warming, complex spices it lends itself beautifully to the extra special addition of smoked, meaty lamb shanks. These become unctuous and delicious when slow cooked in the ‘gravy’ and is a proper family favourite. Feel free to adjust the spice level to your tastes, this recipe is for a mild Rogan Josh.
Coat the lamb shanks in oil then the salt and pepper. Set your BBQ with a lid to cook indirectly, regulating the temperature at 120C. Add 2 chunks or 2 handfuls of fruit wood chips – cherry wood works well for lamb and give a wonderful colour and flavour.
