Basque txuleta: the bone-in rib steak over embers

1 hour, plus 1 hour to come to temperature · Serves 3 to 4. The Basque asador way, from Tolosa to Hondarribia: one thick, well-marbled bone-in rib of older beef, salted with nothing but coarse salt, cooked hard over glowing coals so the outside chars and the inside stays red and warm, sliced and served on a hot plate with green peppers.
