What each ingredient does

Tripe
Is the main protein, cooked by direct heat so its surface browns while the inside becomes tender.

The step that matters

Broil gently until one side is a fine brown. Gentle heat from a clear bed of coals browns the surface through Maillard reactions before the tripe dries out. Too fierce a fire scorches the outside while the inside stays tough.
