Charkii Braai Cooking Notes

Cooking rump centre steak over open flame gives it a smoky crust while keeping the centre juicy. For the best texture:

  • Cook over medium-high coals

  • Aim for medium-rare to medium

  • Rest for 5–10 minutes after cooking

A typical 250g braai portion provides roughly:

  • 430–450 calories

  • 75–80g protein

  • 11–14g fat
