Season one side of the steak with seasoning salt, spreading it lightly.

Flip the steak over and season the other side with salt and pepper.

Tenderize the steak lightly to get the seasoning inside the meat for a couple of minutes.

Place the seasoned steak on the grill.

Place the steak on the barbecue grill and close the lid, cooking for a couple of minutes.

After cooking one side, flip the steak over and cook for another 2 minutes.

If the steak is thick, cook for about 5 minutes per side, but this steak is thin, so 2 minutes is sufficient.
