This dirty steak recipe offers a primitive and exhilarating way to cook high-quality beef, delivering a unique charred crust that a frying pan simply cannot replicate. By placing the meat directly onto white-hot charcoal embers, you achieve an intense sear and a deep, smoky aroma that defines this outdoor cooking classic. It is a bold, theatre-filled method that celebrates the natural quality of a well-marbled ribeye or succulent sirloin.
Perfect for those following a high-protein diet or anyone looking to elevate their weekend barbecue, this dish is surprisingly simple yet impressively effective. The gentle acidity of fresh lemon and a glaze of melted butter provide the perfect finish to the savoury, pepper-crusted meat. Serve these steaks with a crisp green salad or roasted vine tomatoes for a sophisticated, protein-packed meal that guests will feel truly excited to eat.

Ingredients for Dirty Steak
Four 230g ribeye, sirloin, T-bone, or strip steaks, cut 1 inch thick, at room temperature
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
110g (1 stick) unsalted butter (optional), melted
1 lemon (optional), quartered
How to make Dirty Steak
Back to contentsSprinkle both sides of steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Fill a charcoal chimney with briquets, set the chimney on the bottom grill grate, and light. When the coals are ready, dump them into the bottom of your grill. Cover half of your bottom grate with briquets.
When the briquets are white-hot, place each steak directly onto the hot coals using long-handled tongs or a fork. Leave steaks on the coals for 2 minutes. Turn them over and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes for rare (52°C on a meat thermometer). For medium-rare (57°C) to medium (60°C), leave the steaks on the coals for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove the steaks from the coals and brush off the ashes. Spread melted butter over the top and a squeeze of lemon before serving, if you desire.
