Set up a charcoal grill and place the meat above the dead center of the charcoal.

Light the charcoal and create a good base for heat with hard wood charcoal.

Prepare the salty lemon summer steak sauce: combine a quarter cup of water, the zest of one lemon, the juice of one lemon, one tablespoon of salt, one teaspoon of ground pepper, one teaspoon of sugar, a quarter cup of finely chopped parsley, a tablespoon of finely chopped rosemary, and one clove of pressed garlic. Mix well.

Prepare the chimichurri sauce: combine half a cup of finely chopped parsley, one de-seeded and finely chopped red chili, two cloves of pressed garlic, one teaspoon of dried oregano, one teaspoon of paprika powder, one teaspoon of table salt, half a teaspoon of ground pepper, a quarter cup of olive oil, and a tablespoon of red wine vinegar. Mix well.

7

Lower the grill grate to create more distance between the heat and the meat before grilling.

Monitor the meat for flare-ups and move it around to prevent burning.
