Crusty Grilled Top Round Food

CRUSTY GRILLED PEPPERCORN STEAKS

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with garlic, then brush lightly with olive oil.
• Line large baking sheet or tray with waxed paper. Spread thin layer of pepper on plate, lightly coat both sides of steak with pepper, and place on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining steaks and additional pepper.
• Meanwhile, prepare charcoal for grilling (or heat broiler).
• Just before grilling, lightly salt both sides of steaks. Grill steaks over hot fire or broil 4 inches from heat until browned and crusty on outside but still pink at center, about 5 minutes each side for medium-rare.
• Transfer steaks to serving plates and serve at once.
