The Beefer isn’t just about intense heat and the perfect Maillard crust, it’s also the perfect tool for basting steaks to enhance flavour and juiciness. Using the Beefer gastro tray, you can add butter, herbs, and aromatics to your steaks, allowing the flavours to infuse as you cook.
🔥 Why Basting Matters
Basting adds an extra layer of moisture and flavour to your steaks. The hot fats and herbs coat the meat, locking in juices and intensifying aroma, giving you a restaurant-quality result at home.
🌿 Popular Basting Flavours
Classic Butter, Garlic, and Thyme: Melt butter in the gastro tray and add a couple of smashed garlic cloves and sprigs of thyme. Spoon the melted mixture over the steak as it sears.
Rosemary and Olive Oil: Add fresh rosemary to olive oil in the tray, and brush over the steak to impart a fragrant, earthy note.
Spicy Herb Blend: Combine butter with chilli flakes and chopped parsley for a subtle heat and herby kick.
🔧 Basting Tips
Always preheat the gastro tray slightly before adding butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Spoon continuously over the steak as it cooks to maintain a glossy, flavour-rich coating.
Use an oven glove when handling the tray; the Beefer reaches extreme temperatures.
Rest your steak after cooking and spoon a little of the remaining basting mix over it to keep the flavours vibrant.
🥩 Recommended Cuts for Basting on the Beefer
Ribeye, sirloin, fillet, and bavette respond particularly well to basting, as the combination of high heat and infused flavours accentuates their natural marbling and tenderness.
💡Pro Tip: The Beefer’s professional-style ceramic salamander design allows basting at extremely high heat without losing the integrity of the butter or herbs, giving you perfectly caramelised, flavour-packed steaks every time.
