Instructions

  1. Cut the meat into 4 to 5 cm pieces and rub them with the oil, the crumbled chili and half the salt.
  2. Let it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature so the spices can penetrate.
  3. Heat a grill or a thick-bottomed pan over high heat and place the pieces down without crowding them.
  4. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning only once, until golden and crusty; season with the rest of the salt as you take them off the heat.

Variations and tips

With lamb. Lamb is prepared exactly the same way and has a slightly milder flavour.
