Ingredients
1 cup cubed pork fatback
6 cloves of garlic
2 sprigs rosemary
1 (24 to 28-ounce) bone-in rib-eye steak
Salt and pepper
Directions
- Put the fatback, garlic, and rosemary into a food processor and blend until it is the consistency of toothpaste.
- Tie the rib in the correct way so that it is tight and will cook evenly.
- Rub the fat mixture all over the meat and season with salt and pepper. Place it on a very hot grill. Cook the steak on 1 side for about 8 minutes. You can move it around a little bit to find the right heat. Turn it over and cook it a little bit less on the other side, about 6 minutes.
- When it is finished, take it off the grill and let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes. This allows the blood to circulate and allows the juices to distribute evenly.
