OR Place on a hot BBQ about 6" from the coals and grill for about 10-12 minutes per side for medium-rare (pink) meat. Do not close the lid as there is a lot of flaring at the beginning. When ready, remove from heat, transfer to a carving board and let rest for about 10 minutes. Slice across the grain with a very sharp knife with the blade held at a 45 degree angle into very thin slices. Arrange the slices in a circle around the perimeter of a large serving dish.
