So this BBQ beef steak uses rump steak

and we're going to marinate it in smoked paprika, chilli, tomato purée and cola.

You're going to serve it with cola?

No no, marinate it IN the cola. Okay?

It will all become very clear... easy peasy. He's had one of those moments again.

Jamie...

Peel and slice the onion.

Barry, peel and crush the garlic and do the same to the chilli. Just kind of slice them all up.

I'm going to put a glug of oil into the pan. Now, let's go back to this marinade

Just what on earth are you thinking? Coke!

It's great at a BBQ... as a drink. Have you ever seen the experiment

where they put a tooth in a glass of coke overnight? Yes... and the

tooth isn't there in the morning.

It completely dissolves.

We're going to do that to our steak, and it really tenderises and changes

The texture of the beef before you cook it. Jamie, can you put all of the onions in there. Mind your fingers on Barry's knife.

quite a high heat on those because we want to colour and soften them at the same time.

No no

That's quite hot. Erghh... all over my kitchen floor. That's a really hot chilli.

That was really mean Ben. Have a sip of that.

Chilli can go in there as well.

With the garlic.

Season up our onions at this stage.

While we wait for the onions to soften

We can move onto our jacket potato which we're going to serve with it. Cut the potato in half.

That gives you nice flat sides and we're going to cut criss-crosses into it

keep your fingers out of the way. Why is that?

because when we bake it we get a fantastic presentational effect.

Then put them onto a tray

and Barry, put salt and pepper onto them and a glug of oil.

Can you cook these on the BBQ?

You're best off starting them in the oven

but then you can always transfer them to the BBQ to keep warm with everything else.

So if you can do just that Jamie. 180 degrees C in to our oven.

Now our onions have softened up

you can see all those fantastic flavours and you get that chilli aroma as well,

we can add everything else.

So some smoked paprika

a little bit of tomato purée. Cool.

And some soy sauce. If you can maybe get a spoon out and

give that a bit of a stir round.

and now we're ready to start marinating our steak.

It smells incredible... so BBQ-y. So smokey, and that's the smoked paprika. You get that BBQ flavour.

So this is rump?

Correct. The backside of a cow.

Which I like because it has marbled fat and a nice bit of fat on the side, which will crisp up on the

BBQ a treat. Barry if you can put our onions in there.

And this is where our sneaky trick of the cola comes in.

Now all of the fizz and all of the sugar mixes with all the smokey and spicy flavours and then our steak...

there is enough marinade here for a number of steaks but we're just going to demonstrate it with one. That goes in there.

It's not going to cook it,

as the coke was cold. But it will start to marinate and tenderise the beef.

And you can use any kind of cola for this?

Any kind of cola, and any kind of steak.

Now that needs to be left to marinate. The longer the better. Perhaps over night.

But at least two or three hours.

So we'll pop that to one side... although we do have one that we made earlier which we'll bring out in a second. Ahhhh

We need a really hot

cast iron griddle pan.

That's going to represent our BBQ because we haven't got a BBQ inside. Not allowed.

We're going to use this. If you guys have got a BBQ then please do use that.

And our last thing is our corn on the cob.

Another great BBQ treat. When corn is raw they are quite tough.

Make sure you've got a big knife, a solid board and you're going to hit down, keep your fingers out of the way.

Because you need to cut all the way through. What we need to do is wrap it up, so Barry if you can get a roll of tin foil. Yep.

Bit less than that. There.

Perfect.

I always prefer to double it up

If you're putting it onto a BBQ. Corn on the cob, salt and pepper.

Barry, Butter. Bit on each cob.

Then we need to fold it up

and make it completely airtight.

So that again it's going to half bake and half steam.

Then it can go onto the BBQ.

So our potatoes need about an hour in total in the oven. This needs just 20 minutes

and our steak which we made earlier we can start to grill.

So look, you can see that the steak that's been in there

for about six hours now has completely changed it's texture. It has. A grainy texture.

Almost like corned beef. What we do have though is a searingly hot pan so just take that over and put it

straight in there. Corrrreeee!

That is one fantastic sound... a proper BBQ going on there.

What's great about the marinade is that you can use it later on to serve with the steak.

But of course you've got to heat it up to get rid of any raw beef-ness.

Oh... so we don't want to drink it? You don't want to drink it. So

put it into a pan

and bring that up to a bubble at the same time as cooking your steak. The steak needs a couple of minutes on either side.

The marinade needs to bubble.

Our potatoes and sweetcorn need to finish off in the oven.

And then, it'll be BBQ time.

Look at that, so you can see the steak now... nice and soft. This can of course

all be finished on the BBQ. But now I think is the time to serve up... so one of those fantastic

potato halves. You can see the criss-crosses now.

Some sweetcorn. The steak itself... the star of the show. And then some of those onions as well

because they are soft, sweet and spicy.

And there you go... that is our BBQ. We made it inside, but it can all be done outside

It's the cola BBQ Beef... SORTED!

I am looking forward to this. I want to see if you're as mental

as it sounds like you are. So tender!

Really tender, and sticky.

Oh wow! Smokey flavours.

It's strange, you can't taste coke.

But you can recognise it.

It's got that syrupy richness to it. Yeah it has.

I didn't want any potato anyway Baz, don't worry.

Good, because this is all mine. It's amazing.

I never would have thought

coke would have worked inside a steak.
