Suitable for Hungry fans

Big, bold, and unstoppable – just like Wilco Louw. This steak stack is a proper feast, and a protein staple at Wilco's braai. Layered with power and flavour this is the ideal match day feast.

Ingredients

  • 4 thick-cut ribeye steaks (at least 3–4 cm thick)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp coarse salt

  • 1 tbsp cracked black pepper

  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted)

  • 100 g butter, softened

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard

Instructions

  • Prep the steaks: Rub ribeyes with olive oil, salt, and cracked pepper. Leave to rest at room temperature for 30 min.

  • Make the scrum butter: Mix butter, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, mustard, and sesame seeds. Roll into a log, wrap in cling film, and chill.

  • Fire up the gas braai: Preheat to high, then sear steaks for 3–4 min per side until charred. Drop the heat and cook to preferred doneness.

  • Stack and finish: Stack steaks high like a scrum. Slice butter coins and place on top, letting it melt over the meat. Sprinkle extra sesame seeds.

  • Serve: Cut thick slices and share at the table — power and flavour in every bite.
