Directions:
Combine the salt and cornstarch in a small bowl. Dry steaks with paper towels, then rub with the salt mixture. Lay the steaks on a wire rack which has been set on a rimmed baking tray and put the tray in the freezer. Freeze the steaks for 30 minutes to an hour, or until they are firm and dry to the touch.
Light the grill and let the coals get very hot. Clean the grates and oil them.
Remove the steaks from the freezer and season both sides with pepper. Grill, covered over the coals until well browned and cooked (4 minutes per side for rare; 6 minutes per side for medium rare). Transfer to a plate and tent with foil. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
