    How to BBQ the Perfect Sharing Steak

    No matter what cut of steak you're cooking, these simple steps will help you grill a delicious, juicy sharing steak every time.

    Step 1 of 5

    Prep your grill or BBQ. First, preheat your grill to a high heat, around 220-240°C. Close the lid and let it get hot

    Step 2 of 5

    Prep your steak. Lightly rub your steak with a bit of oil, and season it generously with flaky sea salt.

    Step 3 of 5

    Sear it. Place the steak directly on the hot grill. Close the lid and sear for 2-3 minutes per side to lock in the juices and get those great grill marks.

    Step 4 of 5

    Cook to perfection. Turn your grill down to a low heat and move the steak to a cooler part of the grill. Close the lid and cook for the recommended time for your desired doneness and cut of steak.

    • Rib Eye (per 100g): 2 mins for rare, 3 mins for medium, 4 mins for well done. Turn the steak halfway through cooking time to create an even cook.

    • T-Bone (per side): 3 mins for rare, 4 mins for medium, 8 mins for well done.

    • Scotch Fillet (per side): 5 mins for rare, 5 mins for medium, 11 mins for well done.
