Côte de Boeuf with Salmoriglio.

Côte de Boeuf with Salmoriglio Sauce

My cote de boeuf recipe, paired with the southern Italian salmoriglio sauce, is quite possibly my favourite way to dress this delicious cut of beef. On hot summer days, it’s far preferable to a heavy peppercorn or mushroom sauce. The aroma of a cote de boeuf sizzling over wood, topped with freshly pounded salmoriglio, is pure heaven!

Barbecued Ox Tongue with Black Leeks

A primitive and deeply rewarding feast. Smoked ox tongue is poached to a “wobble,” then finished over charcoal with a spiced paint until richly caramelised. Served alongside leeks grilled to jet-black carbon and dressed with lemon and chilli, it is a masterclass in using humble, economical cuts to create something eye-rollingly delicious.
