On the grill

Once the tough central sinew is removed by the butcher, this is one of the most tender cuts on the animal for the price. Treat it exactly like a sirloin steak.

Hot and direct, a few minutes a side, rest it briefly, slice across the grain. It has almost no fat to protect it from overcooking.

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.
