How to Use




Prepare a grill for high heat and clean and oil the grates. Curl the steak and push it through metal skewers, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill the steak, turning halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reaches about 130°F, approximately 4–6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and allow the steak to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with chimichurri if desired.
