Equipment

  • 1 perfect fire

Ingredients
  

  • 45oz steak aged ribeye on the bone
  • salt Fleur de sel, Maldon salt

Instructions
 

  • Start a wood fire with several logs of dry hardwood at least two hours before the scheduled time of dinner.
  • Take your steaks out of the refrigerator. Put on a plate away from flies and the dog, an hour before dinner time.
  • Place a grid about 10 cm (4 in.) above the embers.
  • After at least 10 minutes of preheating the grill, season your steak on both sides and place it on the grill.
  • Cook for 1 minute and rotate a quarter turn adjusting the height of the grill or the positioning of the steak so that the steak is only kissed by flames and not engulfed by them.
  • Repeat the rotation 2-3 times until the surface is caramelized.
  • Turn it over. Now repeat the rotation process on this side.
  • If you use a cooking thermometer because your steak is thicker, I think the perfect internal temperature is 120F (rare to medium-rare). It will continue continue cooking in the resting period.
  • Remove the steak and let stand for at least 10 minutes.
