Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steak:

    Allow the steak to come to room temperature. Ensure the steak is reasonably thick

    (2-3 cm is best).



  2. Make the Marinade (for a 600-800g steak):

    In a bowl, add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper and

    mix thoroughly.


  3. Marinate the Steak:

    - Coat all sides and edges of the steak with the marinade mixture.

    - Let the steak marinate for at least 15 minutes.


  4. 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).



  5. Flame-Grill the Steak:

    - If flame-grilling immediately, leave the gas on once the coals are ready, to keep the

    flames alive. If flame-grilling later, fan the hot coals to produce a small flame and

    then immediately turn the gas on and it will ignite. Open the gas fully to produce the

    biggest flame.

    - 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.


  6. Finish Cooking:

    - Once the steak is nicely seared on both sides, turn off the gas and the steak should

    be rare to medium-rare and full of great smoky, flame-grilled flavour.

    - Continue to cook the steak on the coals until your preferred doneness is achieved

    (medium-rare, medium, well-done, etc.).



  7. 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.



  8. Serve:

    Enjoy your perfect flame-grilled steak!




Bon Appetit!
