Select two flank steaks with visible threads of fat.

Prepare kosher salt by grinding it to a finer texture.

Sprinkle the kosher salt evenly over the flank steaks for dry brining.

Refrigerate the salted flank steaks for 90 minutes to enhance flavor and moisture.

Prepare the grill with lump charcoal, ensuring it is as hot as possible.

Add hickory chunks to the grill for added flavor just before placing the steaks on.

Place the flank steaks on the hot grill and begin cooking.

Flip the steaks constantly to achieve even cooking and a medium-rare doneness throughout.

When the steaks are about 20 degrees away from desired doneness, begin basting with soy teriyaki sauce.

Remove the steaks from the grill when cooked to your liking and let them rest briefly before slicing.
