What each ingredient does

Round-bone sirloin steak
Is the main protein that the grilling heat cooks and browns on the outside.
Hickory coals
Provide the heat source and add a smoky aroma to the steak.

The step that matters

Turning the steak frequently. Turning often keeps the surface from scorching and the juices from dripping into the fire, which would flare up and char the meat. Even turning also helps the steak cook evenly through.
