Step 1: Tenderise Your Steak
To tenderise your steak put it between two sheets of cling film and flatten it.
Step 2: Prepare the Barbecue
Keep the coals all on one side so you can remove the food from the heat easily. Pay attention to where the bars are, particularly if you are using a spatula, as you want to slide your steak along rather than across.
Step 3: Put it on the Barbecue
Put your tenderised steak on the barbecue for roughly a minute and a half each side.
Step 4: Turn the meat
Give the steak a turn during cooking. Keeping it on exactly the same spot will make it tough, and the steak looks prettier with a lattice effect from the grill bars.
Step 5: Finish
The amount of time you leave your steak on the grill will depend on how well done you like the meat. Ours was cooked beautifully in three minutes.
