FOOD Finest cuts - Tom Surman's BBQ board. The Ultimate BBQ Board A perfect summer treat for 2/3 people Tom Surman, head chef at Tomahawk Steakhouse in Yarm. Ingredients 1kg Tomahawk steak plus Maldon Salt and cracked black pepper to season. We recommend buying the best meat you can afford and using your local butcher. Ask for dry-aged meat as opposed to the wet-aged meat you get in supermarkets. It may cost more but my word, the flavour is a world apart. 1 Corn On Cob Halved 1tbsp Melted Butter Tbsp Jerk Seasoning.

In this issue, Tom Sturman of Tomahawk Steakhouse in Yarm describes how to create the ultimate summer BBQ board for 2/3 people… Method Leave the Tomahawk out of the fridge at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Rub with a little olive oil & season generously with the salt & pepper. BBQ the steak until your required doneness. We recommend medium rare. Put a thermometer probe in the thickest part of the steak. When it reaches 37c remove from the BBQ and allow to rest for a good 10 minutes. Remove from the bone & slice into 6 nice thick slices. Whilst steak is cooking, cut your sweet potato into wedges & toss in oil. Roast in 200c oven for 15-20 mins until softened. Once cooked, toss in maple syrup, sliced chilli, spring onion & sesame seeds. Keep warm. BBQ the corn on cob & brush with melted butter. Roll In the jerk seasoning & desiccated coconut. To make the chimichurri – Blend all ingredients in a food processor & slowly add the oil. If no food processor you can chop finely with a knife. Cook king prawns on BBQ & pour over ½ of the chimichurri. Use the other half for your steak. Plate Up Season then garnish with some salad and your BBQ board is complete! tees-life.co.uk 21
