Barbarian Beef

With just a few easy steps, you can be on your way to delectable pork chops.

Recipe Summary Barbarian Beef

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 | Easy Pork Steak Recipes Oven

1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless top round steak, or to taste

salt to taste

100% natural hardwood lump charcoal

4 cloves garlic

1 Fresno chile pepper

2 teaspoons rosemary leaves

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

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

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.

Place garlic, chile pepper, rosemary, and kosher salt in a mortar. Crush into a paste using a pestle. Stir in vinegar and oil.

Slice beef thinly and spoon the sauce on top.

I used top round for this, and if you're just going to slice it thin, and make sandwiches it's fine, but now that I have a little experience, I'd like to try it with a more tender cut. No matter what you use, you'll want to take it off a few degrees under whatever your regular internal temp target is, since it definitely continues to cook after you take it off the coals.

Use any fresh hot pepper you like.
