The best taste is achieved when it is grilled on a charcoal. Put foil on grill grates, punch tiny holes all over wrapped mesh area, and grill.

Lei's note: We use London Broil for this, slicing about 1/2" thick, and marinating for about 6 hours or even overnight in refrigerator....yummy!  Also, we have noticed that this becomes tender if you cook it a little longer than normal....in other words.....not rare, but medium-well.  Slices easily and tastes yummy on the palate.
