Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • ALWAYS let your meat rest before slicing to keep it moist and tender
  • slice AGAINST the grain when cutting meat – this means the opposite direction to the way the fibres run
  • I used flap/bavette for this dish, but you can substitute skirt or hangar, too – cooking times will differ based on the thickness of the meat
  • ALWAYS heat your BBQ for 10+ minutes before cooking – this means the grates/grill is good and hot - giving you that nice sear grill marks
