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 , 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.
-
3
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.

Sarah's Italian Meringue Buttercream
This is sort of a finicky frosting, but so good. Once you master this type of buttercream, you will never go back to the overly sweet powdered sugar type icing. It's light and fluffy and just the right sweetness. It's the type of frosting found in most high-end gourmet pastry shops. You will need a candy thermometer for this recipe. Makes enough to generously frost a two-layer 9-inch round cake.
Sweet Potato Banana Pancakes
I fell in love with the sweet potato pancakes at Cracker Barrel. I decided to come up with my own healthier version. This sweet potato banana pancake recipe is what I put together, and it is a hit every single time I make it! Not only are the pancakes delicious, but they are also very good for you. Win-win! These pancakes are loaded with nutrition and taste delicious with pretty much any topping, so add the topping of your choice. I like honey, agave, or the maple agave syrup from Trader Joe's. Enjoy!
