If you've ever wanted to channel your inner barbarian and cook a large hunk of meat right on the coals, no grill, then this the recipe for you. The flavor of this beef lands somewhere between grilled and smoked, and I've got a great garlicky, acidic pepper sauce to go with it. Try this recipe with a more expensive cut of meat plus any sauce of choice, from chimichurri to barbeque. You can't go wrong!
Ingredients
- 1 boneless top round steak , 2 1/2 pound
- salt to taste
- 100% natural hardwood lump charcoal
Instructions

1
Season both sides of beef generously with salt. Let sit at room temperature, flipping halfway through, for 30 minutes.

2
Burn a bed of charcoal until coals are glowing red and ashy white on the surface, rearranging coals as needed.
-

Place the beef right on top of the coals. Cook, flipping over halfway, about 4 minutes per side. Continue cooking until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for medium-rare, 1 to 2 minutes more per side. Transfer beef to a plate. Let rest while making the sauce.
