How to
Chuck Steak
- Set your barbecue up for direct grilling at a medium heat.
- Slice the chuck steak into large square cubes and generously season them with finishing salt.
- Skewer the cubes, ensuring they have an equal amount of surface area exposed.
- Position the skewers over the edge of the barbecue, directly above the fire.
- Allow the fat to render down into the fire, creating occasional flare-ups. Rotate the skewers frequently.
- Continue grilling until the outer layer turns a dark brown and develops a crunch.
- Transfer the skewers standing up to a serving plate.
- Slice thin pieces of beef from the cooked exterior until you reach the uncooked, red center.
- Return the remaining chuck steak to the fire, allowing them to continue grilling.
Salsa Sauce
- Begin by slicing all the fresh ingredients.
- Heat up a Dutch oven and pour in the olive oil.
- Sauté the onion and garlic in the hot oil until they become soft and translucent.
- Add the bell peppers, parsley and tomatoes to the pot.
- Stir the mixture and allow it to simmer until the excess moisture has evaporated. The less moisture the sweeter it becomes.
- Season with some finishing salt and pepper.
- Continue stirring and cover the Dutch oven, letting the sauce simmer for 20 minutes until it reaches a thick, pasta sauce like consistency.
- Put the sauce on a plate and serve it with the sliced chuck steak placed on top.
