What each ingredient does
- Steak
- The main protein; its thickness and cooking time determine how juicy and done the finished meat is.
- Butter
- Adds richness and a smooth finish to the steak once served.
The step that matters
Turn the steak frequently. Frequent turning over hot coals cooks the meat more evenly and limits surface charring before the inside reaches the desired doneness. Overcooking squeezes out juices, leaving the steak dry and tough.
