Recipe tips Not barbecue weather? You can char the peppers and chilli directly on the flame of a gas hob, or under a hot grill. Caramelise the beef in a very large, ovenproof frying pan for about 5 minutes on each side, then roast for 12 minutes at 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. You won’t get the same smokiness that comes with cooking over flames, but you can compensate by adding a very large knob of butter to the pan and/or seasoning with smoked salt instead of regular.
