Broiled Chops or Steaks
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare
Prepare a clear and bright fire, then heat a clean gridiron and grease the bars.
Broil
Place the meat on the gridiron and broil it close to the fire for 1 minute to seal in the juices.
Turn the meat and broil the other side for 1 minute.
Continue cooking for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness, turning frequently for tenderness.
Serve
Serve on a hot plate and season to taste.

- Form the main body of the dish, cooked directly over the fire until done.
The step that matters
Turning frequently during the 10 to 20 minute cook. Frequent turning spreads heat evenly through the meat and helps keep the surface from over-charring before the centre is cooked, which supports tenderness.
