Wood vs. gas: which barbecue is better?

Which barbecue is better? Charcoal or gas? "THE CLUB" took on the challenge and tested it for us. And they also gave us the recipe for their flatiron steak.
"THE CLUB" are two young Swiss people who share recipes on their website theclub.ch for easy cooking. They fired up the barbecue for us. Or rather the barbecues. Because they are testing the difference between a charcoal and a gas barbecue. They tried the experiment with two identical flatiron steaks. Want to know which barbecue won? Find out in the video. 😀
Shopping list for two people
- 600 grams flatiron steak or beef steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil, cold-pressed
- Salt, coarse-grained
- Black pepper
Cooking process
Preparation time: 30 minutes
- Season the steak generously with coarse salt
- Broil on both sides until the core temperature is 57 °C
- Leave to rest on the heat for 5-7 minutes
- Rub with olive oil and season with black pepper
- Tranch and serve
Cooking tip
When the core temperature of the meat is 57 °C, you should remove it from the grill. You can then leave the meat covered for another five to seven minutes. This allows the temperature in the meat to equalise and "cook" a little more. You should only pepper the meat after grilling. Otherwise the pepper will burn on the hot grill. To flavour your steak, I recommend brushing the meat with extra virgin olive oil just before eating it.
