On the grill

Marinate it if you have an hour, because the coarse grain drinks it up. Then grill hot and fast, direct heat, no more than 4–5 minutes a side for a typical steak.

The grain runs the long way down the muscle. Find it before you carve and cut hard across it, or every bite fights back.

Seasoning

In the grill

280 °C+direct

As hot as the grill will go. Minutes a side, and never walk away.

Smoke it with oak, hickory or mesquite.
