Asado (grilled bife de chorizo)

Preparation

1. 1

   Take the meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking so it reaches room temperature: it will cook more evenly.

2. 2

   Prepare glowing embers with no open flame, or heat a griddle or cast-iron pan until very hot.

3. 3

   Season the steaks generously with coarse salt on both sides just before placing them on the grill.

4. 4

   Grill the steaks for 6-7 minutes on the first side without moving them, until a nice golden crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip only once and continue cooking for 5-6 minutes on the other side for medium doneness, more or less to your taste.

6. 6

   Brush lightly with a little oil at the end of cooking and rest the meat for 5 minutes off the heat before slicing, so the juices redistribute.

7. 7

   Serve with a good chimichurri on the side.
