Marinade Ingredients (per 600g steak):
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Equipment:
Charcoal
Gas Cylinder
DuoKwik
Bowl or tin foil for resting
Instructions:
Prepare the Steak:
Allow the steak to come to room temperature. Ensure the steak is reasonably thick (2-3 cm is best).
Make the Marinade:
In a bowl, mix together 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Marinate the Steak:
Coat all sides and edges of the steak with the marinade mixture.
Let the steak marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Charcoal:
Add enough charcoal to cover the base of the bowl with a decent layer.
Light the gas and open it fully. Allow the DuoKwik to burn until the charcoal starts to turn grey (approximately 10-15 minutes).
Flame-Grill the Steak:
If grilling immediately, leave the gas on once the coals are ready, to keep the flames alive.
Place the marinated steak onto the grilling grid in the flames. The flames will ignite the oil and begin to seal the steak.
Turn the steak after about 30 seconds and continue to turn regularly to prevent burning.
Finish Cooking:
Once the steak is nicely seared on both sides, turn off the gas and the steak should be rare to medium-rare.
Continue to cook the steak on the coals until your preferred doneness is achieved (medium, well-done, etc.).
Rest the Steak:
Remove the steak and let it rest in a covered bowl or wrapped in tin foil for about 5 minutes.
For best results, stand the steak on its edge in the covered bowl to allow the juices to drain away from the meat.
Serve:
Enjoy your perfect flame-grilled steak!
Bon Appetit!
