Instructions

  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (200º to 260ºC) and preheat a grill-proof Dutch oven.
  • Season the beef chuck pieces with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Warm the oil in the Dutch oven over direct medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and cook, with the grill lid closed, until browned on a couple sides, about 5 minutes, stirring once. Transfer the browned beef to a plate. Brown the remaining beef in the same way.
