The Golden Rule of heating a salt black
20 min. on low
20 min. on medium

Sprinkle a few drops of water on the block and if it sizzles and disappears immediately, the block is ready

Make sure the whole steak is set on the block for even grilling

STEP 4: FLIP THE STEAK

Use a thin metal spatula or tongs, NO PLASTIC!
Cooking Time:
1-2 min. per side for any thin steak
4-5 min. per side for any thicker cuts of meat
Cook to preferred temperature

STEP 4: CLEAN AND STORE THE SALT BLOCK

Let the block cool for 1 hour or until cool to the touch
