What each ingredient does
- Steak
- Provides the main protein; its thickness lets the outside brown while the inside stays tender.
The step that matters
Cook the steak over hot coals for about 8 minutes, turning halfway through.. Turning halfway gives both sides even contact with the heat, so the surface browns evenly without the outside overcooking before the centre is done.
