Try this Meat Ranger recipe today. - Beef cheeks are not commonly found, so call your local butcher and ask them to prepare them for you. The key is to ensure that all the silver skin is removed from the cheeks. Cooking low and slow is a must for this hard-working muscle, as it is rich in flavor and full of marbling.
Smoked Teriyaki Sword Fish
Sword fish is tasty, flaky and easy to prepare and cook and doesn’t require too much additional flavours as it’s naturally a tasty cut fish. But with this recipe, we are adding a teriyaki flavour that goes down well with an Asian rainbow slaw.
Smoked Hanging Tomahawk
A hanging tomahawk in the Hero Smoker and grill is possibly my favourite way to Braai/smoke a tomahawk. This amazing cut of meat hangs directly over open coals with the juices infusing that extra smoky flavour as it cooks low and slow.
