Named for the 34th president of the United States, who liked to navigator his steaks straight connected the coals, this mentation volition make a crunchy, charred exterior with rosy, medium-rare nutrient inside.

Lump hardwood coals enactment amended than briquettes for this look due to the fact that they pain hotter. Be definite you usage long-handled tongs. (Sorry, this method is for charcoal oregon wood grilling only.)

You mightiness find an uneven exterior crust, particularly erstwhile utilizing lump charcoal, due to the fact that it is irregularly shaped (unlike the azygous briquette pillows). If that happens, effort to presumption the steak truthful that it is much straight connected the coals and gets an adjacent char. Clasp the steak successful the tongs and rap the tongs against the borderline of the grill to sound disconnected the occasional clinging ember. If you person immoderate ash, flick it disconnected with a pastry brush.

The steaks tin beryllium seasoned and refrigerated up to 4 hours successful advance. Bring them to country somesthesia earlier they spell connected the fire.
