Porterhouse Steak Breakfast Cooked on the Campfire. Canvas Baker Tent.

In this video, I head out to my garden and set up my home built Baker tent as a lockdown camp - a place where I can be outside, relax in comfort, cook and film until such time as we can all get back out and enjoy our woodlands and favourite outdoor areas.
Having set up camp, spreading a liberal layer of bark chippings about to keep the think mud at bay, and processing some fire wood, I get on with a bit of breakfast. This week I am having a real treat - a huge Porterhouse steak kindly supplied by The Steak Shop. It is a monster of a steak at 2 1/4 inches thick, a Sirloin and a Filet separated by a T-Bone. Brought up to temperature high above the fire and then seared quickly over the embers to give it that delicious smoky flavour only a real fire can produce. Breakfast of kings!
I would like too thank The Steak Shop for sending me this amazing lump of cow! Before this pandemic hit us, The Steak Shop were a thriving steak restaurant in Ealing, West London called Steak On The Green. They served up big, top quality steaks, the kind that are hard to find in England and people came from miles around to enjoy their food. When restaurants were forced to close as the pandemic spread, they looked for others ways of making ends meet and The Steak Shop was born. They sell the same specialised high quality steaks that they served in their restaurant, by mail order, shipping them in insulated cold boxes right to your door so you can cook them how you like them at home.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Hi everyone, thanks for watching! For anybody who hasn’t watched it yet, please head over and watch Andy’s (Kent Survival) video - he also cooked a Porterhouse steak, but upstaged me with a chips and asparagus garnish! It’s a ‘Steak Off!’ kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5qbkJSqiZKKfrs

[@Al-AI]

Another banger! Love your Robin too.

[@eponaalbion]

You win Simon, by highlighting just the steak, no garnish or extras, just as it should be with a steak of this quality ;) Andy did a great meal if you had a cheap supermarket steak though!

[@mphelps1013]

Just watched Andy's and while I do love sparrowgrass (and aspergers aren't bad either) I have to go with yours, Simon, mainly because yours was over an open flame and being from one of the southern ex-colonies I received my amateur's degree (celsius) in steakery and beeriness near an open fire.

[@mphelps1013]

@@eponaalbion Dude if you're in the UK and have a Sainsburys near you they do 21 day matured steaks (2) with knobs of garlic butter for £3.50 - I kid you not I'm about to get those bad boys on in a bit.

[@gailembleton662]

Yes i found you through Andy.. Thanks, lovely fur child..🥰

[@KentSurvival]

I reckon you won that one mr! so juicy.. mine rested a little too long in the hot dutchy haha

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Simon really nailed his steak: a fine bed of coals, plus his preference for rare/medium-rare meat won this round for me.

[@bobloblaw2342]

lmao, just saw andy's vid and then this popped up

[@54duffield54]

Yes I'd sooner eat Simon's steaks 🥩 than any restaurants I've eaten at. And I've eaten at some good ones.

[@eponaalbion]

You did a nice meal there Andy but that steak alone without any garnish wouldve sufficed ;)

[@Gabor.Bujdoso]

I think both of you did an outstanding steak, only winners here! 😀

[@counterdebate]

I told the wife I'm doing this in the garden... She said go live with Simon and be two blokes in the wood then! 🤣

Backyard cramping has it's own appeal. A comfy way to test out equipment and really fun activity whit kids.

[@tomdiggle1472]

I love your camping vids,but love your backyard campouts,shows families they don’t have to take the kids away,if you got a backyard,you can still have fun,great teaching opportunity

[@leslieaustin151]

My wife and I watched this in bed this morning. As you started eating she said, “He should send us all a piece”. And as you failed to take any notice of her comment, “You can go off people you know!” Be warned, food that good should be shared!! Thanks for a good one. Les

[@craiglake6091]

It was like we were there and able to taste how good it was. Thanks for another awesome vicarious outdoor adventure.

[@trakyboy5128]

I'm dying with laughter simply because this is a strange world we live in where people sit around either with cell phones computers laptops or whatever and dial in to watch people cook and eat.... it's hysterical when you think about it !!!!!

[@petersmith6974]

Yeah. What I find I’m doing now after cruising the net last year watching these type of things.Is just zipping through looking here and there at the video. Kinda losing the interest in them now as so many. Doing same things.

[@lauriebloggs8391]

Absolutely!!! Love it!

Just another way to connect. Seems like that’s we’re all missing

[@JUSTICEshsyedZaC]

Awesome thanks for the upload brother godbless fabulous really love watching your videos and your good friend Mr Kent Survival and Haze Outdoors. When I was younger I used to go hiking with my best friend Darren in Lancashire he thought me alot then as a kid we used fish up in lakeside good ol'days

[@deborahhoch2662]

Why is it that we like watching you eat?🤗

[@janwaller3585]

The steak looked delish !

[@gene_takavic57]

Now my mouth is watering! More fun than cooking in the kitchen.

[@bradlyttle]

Porterhouse steak just how I like it, bloody marvellous. Thanks Simon. You scared me in the first thirty seconds, I was afraid we were headed for the tree fort.

[@gurpreetmanku1904]

Really good video maked me hungry big steak 🥩 yes 👍👏👏👏👏😀

Absolutely stellar cooking Simon! I LOVE Porterhouse!

That is easily one of the top five steaks on KZbin.

[@anndebaldo7381]

Sweet to see Maggie! She sure made short work of her steak! Made my mouth water, for sure! ATB!

[@johnnybushman651]

Thanks Simon , now I have to go to the store ! You made me hungry once again.

[@PingHansen]

Yum! I just had tea, but this made me drool, and now I'm hungry again. I think I'll go raid the freezer .. perhaps green peas, a pan sauce, and Ciabatta bread .. yesssss, that would do the trick - tomorrow. Best of luck to The Steak Shop 😍

[@axerxes3981]

Simon.... you make my mouth water!! Looks wonderful!! And I still want to come over to your house and play in your treehouse!! Thanks for sharing.... and best wishes..... Ax

Be lucky that you can be outside in the garden. We living on the countryside on a farm, with dog, cats, horses, cows, a big garden, woods, creek and fields. So we are the luckiest and happiest people on world in this times. Stay healthy and take care of your family. Alex

[@MarkoCoomo]

Quality steak cooked blue is just the best thing ever. May well give that code a go.

[@littledotti]

As soon as you cut into that I knew then and there....why am I watching this without my own porterhouse steak on the BBQ.... sigh. Really want one now... 😉 Cooked to purrfection....YUMMO.

The key is knowing when to pull it off. Your was perfect looking. 🤙

Now that is a steak. Really loving my mini fire anchor too.

[@UrbanGrrl69]

Baker tent and that steak, things of beauty Simon. Don’t think Maggie pieces touched the side of the dish before she scoffed them all.

[@theresabass685]

I know plenty of dogs that would’ve killed for that bone 🍖 I can’t give my dog any bones just the pepperoni kind. This was so straight up Steak with no frills very bush craft too. I just enjoy your videos you show lots of detail on how to make fire and the art of cooking a big steak. Love Maggie getting hers in the end. Thanks for the video Simon very good .😊

[@mbrider56]

That steak looked amazing Simon, I could almost taste that, and Maggie at the gate....lol she could smell that I bet.

[@bryanscountryside5857]

You can't beat a nice steak cooked outdoors in the countryside. I'm a keen angler and cooking a steak on my portable bbq by the waterside is my go to fishing meal. Don't forget to add a nice big portobello mushroom seasoned with salt, pepper and butter then wrapped in foil and cooked alongside. :p

[@spellerwix]

i was prepared for this one. i eat while i watched !!

[@ve2vfd]

That steak looked delicious! The marbling looked just perfect! It's a really good idea for restaurant suppliers to sell direct to the public during this dry spell caused by lock-downs.

[@aussieoddsocks]

7:10 making ends meat . What a beautiful (unintended?) pun. Eating a steak like that sees a bloke spend a fair bit of time in the woods (along with the prerequisite bog roll of course). Great video as always.

[@thcdreams654]

Took me a few days to get around to watching this because I was snowed in and had no steak to eat after seeing that thumbnail. Finally full enough to watch it without my stomach growling. Thanks Simon your the best.

Nice way to hang in there Simon. Same situation here in the U.S. for me too ! Better safe than sorry !! Take care my friend !
