Two founders in Perth built the range around the South African braai: cook over real coals, share the meat, let the conversation run. Night Ember Reserve is the one for red meat, built to throw a dark, peppery crust on a steak you can taste before you slice it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaprika and cracked pepper lead, so the crust colours up fast and bites back. Coriander brings that warm, citrusy braai note, garlic and onion fill out the middle, and cumin, fenugreek and rosemary add an earthy, savoury depth.
