Char coal BBQ Whole Scotch Fillet steak with Chimichurri sauce

Time:
Cost: 17.0 per person
Feeds 4

Description:

This is a dish for perfectionist carnevores. It is a ritual, a ceremony, if you wish. DO NOT USE GAS GRILL! It would be a sacrilege.

Equipment

BBQ char-coal griller
Set of tongs
Large plate
Bag of coals

Ingredients:

1-1.2 kg. Whole Scotch Fillet
Some oil
Your favorite rub

Chimichurri

Ingredients and method:

1 cup fresh coriander, finely chopped
½ cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 Tbsp oregano
40 ml white wine vinegar
4 garlic cloves
1 lemon zest and juice
1 pinch ground cumin
1 pinch coriander powder
1 pinch chilli flakes
1 cup sunflower oil
salt and pepper to taste

Method: Blend all the ingredients in the blender until herbs are finely chopped.

Steak

Method:

1. Prep and season the steak

Take your steak out of the fridge and season it on both sides with your favorite rub. After you have seasoned the steak let it sit for 30 minutes.

2. Fire up your grill. When the coals are ready you will want to arrange them into two zones. Essentially you want all the coals on oneside of the grill for direct heat and then the otherside that doesn’t have any coals will be your indirect heat.

Allow the grate to heat up.
When ready to grill pour cooking oil onto a folded paper towel and oil the grate using a long-handled tongs.

3. Place your seasoned steak on the hottest part of the grate, directly above the coals. Let it sear for two minutes, rotate a quarter turn and place it back down. Let the steak sear for an additional two minutes.
Flip the steak over and sear the other side.
After the steak is properly seared move it to the warm side where there are no coals.
Close the lid of the charcoal grill and continue to cook the steak until it reaches 60 C internal temperature - 25 minutes for 500 g for medium rare.
You do not need to flip the steak while cooking it indirectly.
4. The final step is to remove the steak from the grill, place on a cutting board and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Allow it to “rest” for 5 minutes. This redistributes the juice in the steak and makes it nice and tender!
