Select chuck eye steak and tri tip steak for cooking.

Treat the chuck eye steak like a normal ribeye, cooking it to develop a nice crust.

Rest the chuck eye steak for a minimum of 10 minutes, covered.

Cook the tri tip steak whole, then cut it in half to carve against the grain.

Render the fat cap on the tri tip steak using a heavy-based cast iron pan.

Transfer the tri tip steak to a super hot grill to build flavor and crust, flipping every 20-30 seconds.

Place the tri tip steak in a low oven (150°C) for 2-3 minutes, flipping to avoid overcooking.

Check the internal temperature of the tri tip steak with a probe.

Carve the tri tip steak against the grain after cooking.

Prepare a marinade for beef short rib with green onion, garlic, ginger, peppercorns, nashi pear, honey, soybean paste, crispy chili, and toasted sesame oil.

Blend the marinade and rub it into the beef short rib, marinating for a minimum of 24 hours.

Cut the beef short rib into an accordion shape to tenderize it before grilling.

Grill the accordion short rib until cooked, then rest it before serving.
