In this section, David's talking all about grilling in your woodfired oven. As he says, don't call your oven a pizza oven but a woodfired oven and then you can cook anything in it - including grilling amazing steaks, chops, fish and vegetables. To do this we use a Tuscan grill, sat over a bed of embers - so your oven is now effectively a barbecue!
Here are the important bits of this section -
- 0.52 - what is a Tuscan grill?
- 1.34 - sit the Tuscan grill over a bed of embers to heat up. We use a hard wood to make the embers - something like oak works really well. Make sure the grill is hot before you add your ingredients
- 2.56 - seasoning the sirloin steaks. Remember to oil the steak so your salt and pepper sticks to it and the steaks are less likely to stick
- 3.40 - you don't need to completely heat the oven to use the Tuscan grill; you can just create a bed of embers and cook over them.
- our sacrificial grill brush made out of fresh rosemary
- 4.55 - adding flavoured woods
- 5.50 - oiling your grill before adding the steaks - remember to wear your gauntlets!
- 6.46 - timing your steak cooking
- 7.20 - using a compound butter to add flavours
- 8.30 - resting the steaks with the butter melting over the top
- 8.48 - after 5 minutes resting, slice the steak - remember to slice it across the grain
