Executive Head Chef at The Lantern Group, Mitchell Davies, fires up a crowd favourite with some truly satisfying Carne asada tacos and shares his pro BBQ tips.
• If you don't have a fancy BBQ you can still cook a great steak on a gas grill. Close the lid whilst you are heating it to get it nice and hot, resulting in a smoky flavour and dark colour on your meat.
• You can substitute cuts delivering the great results on taste – an oyster blade or flat iron steak are good alternatives to quality rump or sirloin steaks.
• Use an Instant read thermometer to take the guesswork out of the required doneness
