After six minutes, turn the steaks over: the side adjacent to the grate should have a good appetizing color. Now cook the other side for six minutes.

Now transfer the steaks onto the less hot side of the grate, with the portion containing the bone facing the hottest part. This will finish the cooking without drying them.

Leave them in this position until the internal temperature of the meat, which is measurable with a kitchen thermometer, has reached 50°C (58°F). If you do not have this tool, wait about two minutes.
