Australian Spiced Steak and Damper. TJM Metalworks Mini Fire Anchor. Campfire Cooking.

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- In this video, I head out for riverside walk with Maggie, the big black dog, to work up an appetite for breakfast. We find a nice secluded, shady spot beside the river and set about getting a fire going to cook up a tasty treat. I was recently sent some Aboriginal Australian ingredients from my friends Hari and Alana, and this was the ideal opportunity to try them out - ribeye steak, seasoned and cooked over the fire, damper - a simple tasty flat bread and Lemon Myrtle tea - deliciously refreshing on a hot day!
Thanks for watching!

❤Maggie❤ Thanks for the video Simon
Dogs should live as long as humans!!! Thanks for the video!
Maggie,lovely Maggie….what a sweet and gentle soul…Thank you for sharing your times together..You were a wonderful Dad to her…🐶
YOUR MAGGIE IS A NEWFOUNDLANDer !!!! 👍 Maggie you are an absolute a BEAUTY !
I love your show & Andy’s - love your dog ❤ Jane from Australia 🇦🇺
This is an old video, but its nice to see Maggie. Such a sweetheart!
I get dirt bikes past mine so often, I barely noticed it was on the video :) the intro reminded me of Jack walking his pony along the river and over the little foot bridges from Outta town.
Meat, Bread, Tea , a nice combination, that sauce made it special. Great fire anchor.
The only problem with this video, is I can only hit “like” once.
Thanks mate! 😁
😆
Simon a Chef in the Woods ........yummy food ...great video again of your equipment and Cooking.Loved the close ups of Maggie.... your videos are wonderful ,Thanks ......
Perfect example of how a walk can be more than just a walk. Nice work, sir.
-Steve
Never heard the dirt bike. Wouldn't have known it was there. Probably the cheap ear buds I'm using. Great video, you always make me hungry.
Mate... you make the world a nicer place to live. And you're an inspiration. Thank you. xx
Bravo! Loved it all, even nap time.
Another great video, good camera positioning making the whole Film entertaining, Thanks Ian
Thanks Ian. 👍

Delicious. My favorite breakfast!
Mine too! 😉😋
Awesome, thanks Simon.
Bless old Maggi, it is lovely to look at your old videos while we wait for you to return in the Spring.
Hello Simon.... I hope Maggie went for a swim..... very cooling. Relaxing video 👏👏👏🙏
Pretty small bag of goodies for such an entertaining video.
Cheers to premium content!
Your video's just make me happy.......
Very cinematic video. It's like watching an artistic movie. Cheers mate.
Waoo my friend, amazing adventure. Iam from the big 🍎 and your videos are the perfect escape to me and relax!! Thanks so much!
I've missed seeing Maggie's big, furry face. You're both looking well. Take care.
Simon just a little advice on cooking a traditional Aussie damper mate.Being a kid from the bush I started work at 14 as a billy boy and general rusabout for a gang of fencing contractors camped out in the bush. The billy tea had to brewed and dampers cooked by 10am sharp for smoko otherwise a sore arse would be felt. To cook dampers to produce a nice crust, they would be laid directly on a bed of ashes, just like you've got there and a layer of ashes were racked over to completely cover them. I usually did 6 to 8 at a time, depending how many blokes were going to have smoko (morning tea time, and a smoke). it usually took 10 to 12 minutes for them to cook. Take the dampers out the ashes, give them a good dusting over and they were serviced broken (not cut) into pieces with some Golden Syrup poured over and washed down with tea that only a billy over an open fire can produce. Billies were made from an empty Sunshine Powdered milk tin that held about 4 litres with a piece of fencing wire for a handle. There was no lid and the tea took on a smoked Eucalytus flavour. If we were in Narrow Leafed Ironbark country, I'd throw a couple of crushed up Ironbark leaves in the billy water a few minutes before it boiled. This gave the tea a really nice soothing Eucalyptus flavour. There were no Lemon Myrtle gum trees growing in our area. As soon as the billy started a rolling boil (not before), measure out loose tea leaves in a cupped hand (about two tablespoons full to 4 litres of water) chuck the tea leaves in the water and IMMEDIATELY, grab the billy by the handle and swing it in a circular motion 3 times overhead then stop and watch the tea leaves roll over in the billy. This steeped the tea ready to drink. So fresh hot dampers, Golden Syrup, freshly brewed billy tea, and a roll your own fag (no tailor made fags in the bush those days, as every bloke had his own tin of Log Cabin fine cut tabacco, and cigarette papers) meant there were a mob of happy blokes having smoko.Who could want more. If I stuffed up anything, it was a guaranteed number 8 (hob nailed boot size) in the arse. Smoko was a ritual. All gone now though after 55 years.
That opening song was really beautiful.
Always such a pleasure to watch * Loved the Maggie close-ups. She is so majestic looking with her lions mane of fur.Thank you so much for continuing to share your passion & skills with us all. Sending well wishes *
Ach. after the day I've had, needed a bit of this. Cheers Simon
I appreciate your camera angles and editing
Love this Simon.....thank you

Very nice.
Thanks for sharing this video Simon .
Good to see Maggie out and about 😃🤙🤙🤙
Thanks, Simon for sharing.
Nice video Simon 👍. Fabulous to see Maggie and you out in the Bush 😛 😜
Glad Maggie got her share. She is such a good girl.
'Aussie as' maaayte🤠👍❗️Greetings from Friday afternoon in Oz. You got sent some top goods! Gotta pick those younger leaves from the lemon myrtle, otherwise they're overpowering & stong😋, there's a cinnamon myrtle too😍😋. Nice use of a wider-angle lens on the bridge to give that 'converging-lines' effect 🎥 , top of the weir shot was pretty awesome too😎👍. Loving that ironmongery as well 👏👏👏. 😵giant hogweed flower in the closing sequence😲
Thanks mate!! I’m going to see if I can get some cinnamon myrtle - sounds lush! 👍🇦🇺
Another very professional video. Great stuff thanks
So great to see Maggie out & about with you.
A Kent Survival and a Simon video all in the same day? Monsieur with this outdoor content, you are really spoiling us!
😉😁👍
great to see a little piece of Aust in your video
Anyone else’s mouth start watering when simon cut into that steak (just off to the butchers)
I'm not sure who was drooling more, me or my dog.
Enjoyed watching
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
YOU ARE THE BEST BLOKESTER SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER GREAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP EM COMIN BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That bite of steak shot with the Chili lime sauce instantly made my mouth water!
And I giggled, because the dirt bike noises sounded like you enjoying your food & giving out healthy toots.😋 🤣🤭💨
Haha - that’s why I put in the #dirtbike tags - I needed a cover up!
Thanks for the walk, cook and recipes. Lovely. Your dog is well behaved.
I was a vegetarian for 17 years... before I started to get interested in bushcrafting and watched video's like this. :p
Another great video, thank you Simon and Maggie
Simon, so great to see you and Maggie out and about! That walk looked very therapeutic with a great breakfast thrown in. Thanks for sharing!
Wish you were on the tv never mind youtube. Keep up the good work 👍
Great weather 👍
Great video. That steak with the sauce looked tasty! Like seeing Maggie . Always love your choice of music.
Just allaround good person mate thankyou so much for shareing
A beautiful mini adventure, something I could manage myself! Thank You for the inspiration. 🏕🛶🍳
Beautiful video and great to see Mags out and about. I've made Aussie dampers in the camp oven, some sweet, some savory. Nice and simple like that perfect looking steak. Thanks for another escape to the countryside.
I find watching your video's so relaxing and enjoyable to watch.
Grey way to wrap up my day. Thanks Simon
Breakfast and a snooze in the open air. Perfect!
Simon, great to see Maggie, nice music to start, truly love your videos, I didn't know that you and Kent survival did a video together, I'm watching that tonight, also I bought a sewing machine because of you, you've made sewing cool sir, I know I'll be rubbish but what the heck. First Nations gift from Australia, awesome, man that steak looked good, it's not even my dinner time yet and I'm hungry now, never cooked a damper myself but I will try it, cheers.
This is not damper, though. It's an Englishman's version. Real damper is cooked in the coals and is like a giant, hard cake/scone. Great hot with lots of cold butter. You can even toss a few saltanas in for the sweet relief.
Simon and Andy have done quite a few videos together! They are all awesome. ☺️
If you like dampers, I suggest what we call "biscuits" in the US. Made almost the same way, but cut into circles. Lots of recipes on the internet. When camping, I use a trick, just mix self rising flour and heavy cream, don''t measure, just eyeball it. Mix the dough in a plastic bag, then pinch off some roll it into a ball, and smash flat before baking.
dogzilla100 - I'm pretty sure a lot of the uninitiated from English speaking nations see 'biscuits & gravy' on the menu and picture something likely to be served up the movie 'Oliver'!🤣. It's great American, early settler, hearty food!😍😋👍❗️💯‼️
Thanks mate - hope you enjoy the other ones too - we did a 5 day canoe trip in Sweden which was awesome fun!
Lovely cook on a beautiful day next to the river!!!
A great start to my morning. Recalibrated a rather grumpy frame of mind having woken up too early. You're my youtube apothecary Simon. Keep them coming.
Looks “mouth watering “ delicious ❤️
Nice to see Maggy again👍
Simon a jolly swagman in the woods
I revisited this video because of beautiful Maggie ❤ she was certainly Simon's best companion!
as always 👍👍 I can imagine in the opening shots seeing you and Maggie and yelling out "hey Simon, wait up!"
Thanks Simon. When the World is pulling itself to bits its lovely to watch something gentle and calm. We both love your vids. Thank you!!
Chilli Steak for breakfast! You Sir are a proper Aristocrat.
Love that fire Anchor, simple yet perfect.
Thanks for sharing. So good to see Maggie out with you.
Almost a pommy Les Hiddins! 🤣🇦🇺
Simon, I think you’d love the old series of “Bushtucker Man” from decades ago. I don’t know if it’s available there but the are clips on UA-cam. He was an Australian army officer who went out learning about native foods from aboriginal people, and then taught what he’d learned to our soldiers. For an officer in the Pongos, he’s not too bad… 😉
Nice lunch out mate :) and some nice peace and quiet too
Cheers matey! Nice except for that bloody dirt bike! 😂😂😂
I really enjoy your vids Simon......... I always view it as a bonus when Maggie shares your adventures lots of love and Aloha....... a Brit in Hawaii I almost yearn for the Motherland.....well almost !!
Hahaha - I can imagine - must be tough! 😂👍
Brilliant video had I alot of questions about outdoor gear and you have covered them all thank you very much top man thanks for taking the time out to help us all 👍👍👍
Thanks Paul!
Nice to see you & Maggie out again Simon. TAKE CARE..
I love your dog. That is a very nice breed. She is lovely. Nice looking lunch as well. Thanks for sharing
Great video, looks like the perfect breakfast!!!
Amazing video mate, so relaxing to watch. ATB - Simon
Nice vid you've got some awesome cooking ideas I haven't thought of
When you bit into that steak Sir. I instantly almost drowned my mouth watered so much. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us..
Listen up folks because that's called living the dream and it don't cost a whole lot to do unlike many thing today.
Thanks Don!
Steak for brekkie. Youre the man. Lovely video, thank you for taking us along 😁.

Footpaths over here often go alongside fields etc - luckily they sometimes lead to the woods. 👍
Nice video mate, just sat watching you from South Australia drinking a cold beer the steak looked awesome. Looks like Kentish woodland your in there? Cant beat a good Aussie blended steak mix I live an hour from the Murray river 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks mate! It’s Norfolk rather than Kent, but similar in some ways. 👍👍
Beautiful place Simon! Thanks for taking us along.
And just the steak for me please!😊👍👍
Well this was a WINNER! A beautiful corner of the world, that lovely meal, the amazing fire anchor (That I was certain you had made!) the delightful treats from Australia and that marvelous bag! And Maggie of course! She's a dear, sweet companion.
