- Season steaks generously with coarse salt and grill on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. (Alternatively, steak can be broiler pan under a preheated broiler 3 inches from heat about 4 minutes on each side)
- Transfer steak to cutting board and drizzle with lime juice. Let steak stand, uncovered, 5 to 10 minutes and with a sharp knife cut diagonally across grain into thin slices. Serve steak with accompaniments.
- I like to serve this steak with tortillas, cheese, salsa, and a spray of lime
