2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 700°F (High Heat) & 350°F (Low Heat)

How to Gauge Grill Heat Without a Thermometer

Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:

• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds

Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Sear the beef cubes on high heat for 2–4 minutes, turning for even browning.
Remove the browned beef cubes and set aside.
Lower the grill temperature to 350°F.
In a grill-safe Dutch oven, add in the aromatics and the vegetables.
Then add in all the rest of the ingredients.
Cover the Dutch oven with foil, and cook on low heat for 3.5 hours.
Cook until the meat is tender to your preference and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on a digital meat thermometer.
Serve over jasmine rice, and garnish with sliced green onion and cilantro.

Here’s How to Control Your Grill Temperature with Vents An easy way to control the temperature of your grill is by opening and closing its vents. To reduce the temperature: Close the vents on your grill to reduce the flow of oxygen. To increase the temperature: Open up the vents fully to allow more oxygen in to increase the flames.
