Five Sharp

Cooking method

Grilled Sunday dinners

Grilling is direct radiant heat and very little else. The cooking is fast, the seasoning is simple, and nearly all the flavour comes from what happens at the surface in the last few minutes. It rewards a hot grate and an unhurried rest afterwards, and it punishes crowding — which is the single most common reason a grilled dinner comes out grey instead of charred.
