In a world of digital distractions, there’s a primal magic in gathering around a fire. It’s where we reconnect, share stories, and create memories that last. At Bull BBQ, we believe the greatest moments in life are forged over a flame, with fire, food, and friends—the original social network.
That’s why we’re going back to basics with a feast that is rustic, impressive, and designed to be shared. We partnered with our good friend, Chef Mark, to create a menu inspired by the timeless traditions of Tuscany—a celebration of high-quality ingredients and the pure, authentic flavour that only comes from cooking on a world-class grill.
This is more than just dinner. This is the reason to get everyone together.

-
Olive oil
-

Equipment
Method
Step 1: Prep the Meat (30 mins before grilling)
First, take the T-bone steak out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. This is crucial for an even cook. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
Prepare the Spiedini by threading the thin strips of beef onto your skewers in a concertina fashion. Don’t pack them too tightly.
Carefully thread the long sausage onto two parallel skewers to create the spiral effect, ensuring it’s secure.
Step 2: Fire Up the Powerhouse
Preheat your Bull BBQ grill to a high, searing heat (around 250-280°C). Our heavy-duty thermometer gives you precise control. Leave one side on a slightly lower heat to create different temperature zones.
Step 3: Season and Grill the Steak
Just before grilling, season the T-bone generously on all sides with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and press the rosemary sprig onto the surface.
Place the steak on the hottest part of the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side for a perfect rare to medium-rare, turning only once. For the final minute, stand the steak up on its base to cook the bone and render the fat. Use tongs—never a fork—to turn the meat.
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes. This is non-negotiable!
Step 4: Grill the Rest of the Feast
While the steak is resting, place the spiral sausage, beef Spiedini, and all the peppers and tomatoes on the grill.
The Spiedini will cook quickly (2-3 minutes per side). The sausage will need around 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through. The vegetables are ready when they are soft and have a beautiful char.
Step 5: Serve the Feast
Carve the rested steak off the bone. Slice the fillet and sirloin sections into thick strips. Arrange everything on a large platter: the magnificent sliced steak, the sizzling spiral sausage, the tempting Spiedini, and the beautifully charred vegetables.
Finish with a final sprinkle of sea salt flakes over the steak and a generous drizzle of your best extra virgin olive oil over everything.
Gather your tribe, pour the wine, and celebrate.
Why This Feast is Perfect for Your Bull BBQ
This isn’t just a collection of recipes; it’s a showcase of what makes a Bull grill a true powerhouse.
