Prepping the Charcoal

  1. Before preparing the meat you need to start the fire to get the coals just right.

  2. Sprinkle half of the salt evenly over the towel. A thin paste will start to form.
  3. Place the sirloin cap in the middle of the towel and top with the rosemary sprigs.
  4. On the second kitchen, towel pour the remaining half bottle of beer and salt. Cover the meat.
  5. Wrap the meat tightly with the kitchen towels the tie firmly.

Cooking the Meat

  1. Place the wrapped meat directly on the hot coals and cook for 20 minutes.
  2. After 20 minutes, turn the meat over and cook for another 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the meat from the coals and let it rest for 10 minutes before unwrapping.

Serving

  1. Cut the meat in ½" slices.
  2. Serve with a charcoal grilled baked potato.

Notes

  • The kitchen towels are no longer useable after cooking. Don't use your favorite ones.
