Instructions
- Preheat your grill to high. Prepare the steak by scoring the layer of fat on top. Do this in one-inch squares.

- Remove the steak from the heat and place it back on a chopping board.
- Slice into medium-thick strips and apply a sprinkle of more salt on each strip.
- Put each steak strips back on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature. When the internal temperature reaches 130°F, remove the steaks from the grill.
- Leave to rest for 5 minutes. Serve up and enjoy.
