Critical Success Points

  • Dry brine the steak for at least 1 hour.
  • Render the fat cap first to prevent flare‑ups and add flavor.
  • Do not flip the steak repeatedly; let each side develop a deep crust.
  • Rest the steak for 10 minutes before slicing.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot charcoal with heat‑resistant gloves; coals stay hot for hours.
  • Use long‑handled tongs to avoid burns from flare‑ups.
  • Never leave the grill unattended while the fire is active.
  • Ensure the meat thermometer is clean to avoid cross‑contamination.
