    Method

    1. 1

      Prepare a hot charcoal grill with a cooler zone, or heat a cast-iron pan.

    2. 2

      Season the steak generously just before cooking.

    3. 3

      Start with the bone side facing the hottest part of the fire, then cook 2-3 minutes a side to build color slowly.

    4. 4

      Move to a rack and rest 5-10 minutes.

    5. 5

      Return to the heat for another 2-3 minutes a side, then rest again. Repeat until the center reads 52°C (125°F) for medium-rare.

    6. 6

      Rest a final 5 minutes, carve off the bone, slice and finish with flaky salt.
