Pat the 1 lb beef slices dry with paper towels. If they are thicker than 1/4 inch, pound them gently to an even thinness.

Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to high heat (about 450°F). You should be able to hold your hand 5 inches above the grate for only 2 seconds.

Grill the beef in a single layer, not crowding the grate, for 1-2 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to your liking (medium-rare is 130°F).
