Instructions
-
Prepare intense, constant heat from grill coals, fanning them if they die down.
-
Place steak on the grill, sear briefly, then slightly raise the grill to reduce direct heat.
-
When the steak releases easily, flip it and liberally salt the seared surface.
-
After a few minutes, once the second side releases, flip again and salt.
-
Grill for a few more minutes, then flip and lightly season with pepper.
-
Flip one final time and lightly season with pepper again.
-
Cook a 2-inch steak (removed from the fridge 1 hour prior) for about 3-4 minutes per side over high heat to achieve a rare interior, accounting for carryover cooking.
