On the grill

Bigger and leaner than chuck cut into steaks, a whole clod wants the same low-and-slow approach as brisket: indirect heat around 120 °C for several hours.

It is done by feel as much as temperature: a skewer should slide in with almost no resistance once the collagen has broken down.

This takes hours. The fire is barely alive and the meat is never over it.

Smoke it with oak, hickory or mesquite.
