Lightly coat the steaks with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over high heat (250° to 290°C).

Brush the cooking grills clean. Grill the steaks over direct high heat, with the lid closed, for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on how well done you would like the steak cooked (see timing guide).

Once the steaks have cooked, remove from the barbecue and leave to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

(These times are intended as a guide only. Timing will vary depending on the thickness of the steak.)

Rare- 2 minutes per side

Medium Rare- 3 minutes per side
