Barbarian Beef

Servings:

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

Instructions

  1. 1 Season both sides of beef generously with salt. Let sit at room temperature, flipping halfway through, for 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Burn a bed of charcoal until coals are glowing red and ashy white on the surface, rearranging coals as needed.
  3. 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.
  4. 4 Place garlic, chile pepper, rosemary, and kosher salt in a mortar. Crush into a paste using a pestle. Stir in vinegar and oil.
  5. 5 Slice beef thinly and spoon the sauce on top.
