Techniques
- kosher salt
- white sugar
- freshly ground black pepper
- cayenne pepper
- 1 piece extra thick top round steak
Mix kosher salt, white sugar, black pepper and cayenne into a dry rub.
The dry rub
Apply half the rub to each side of the beef, rubbing or patting it in well.
Top round, and which cuts work
Set on a rack over a sheet pan and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours to dry brine, flipping halfway.
- barbecue sauce
- apple cider vinegar
- Dijon mustard
- turmeric
- cloves of crushed garlic
Mix a wet rub of barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, a spoon of Dijon mustard, a little turmeric and a few cloves of crushed garlic.
The wet rub
Put the beef in a dish, pour over half the wet rub and poke it in with two forks for a good minute per side, making lots of holes; repeat on the other side and spoon the excess over the top.
Poking the wet rub in with forks
Unwrap and scrape some of the excess wet rub off the surface.
Grill about 7 to 10 minutes per side to the desired doneness, giving each side about 5 minutes then flipping every minute or so; let the surface blacken.
Pull at about 120 internal, wrap tightly in foil on a plate and rest at least 15 minutes, to about 130 for medium rare.
Slice thinly at a slight angle with a sharp knife; toss the slices in the accumulated juices.
