Take steak out of the fridge and bring back to room temperature. Brush your steak with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper plus a steak spice mix of your choice.
Prepare your barbecue for two zone cooking – this simply means you have a high and a low heat zone. Pile coals to one side of the grill leaving the other side empty. Heat until coals turn ashy and any flames have died down.
Place your steak on the cool side on the BBQ. Close the lid and cook for around 15-18 minutes per side or until the internal temperature registers approx. 10 degrees below your desired temperature (see notes for guidelines).
Transfer your steak over to the high-heat zone and sear over direct heat for 1-2 minutes per side, pressing down to get the perfect grill marks.
Rest the steaks for 5-10 minutes loosely covered with foil. Slice the steaks and enjoy!

Notes
A Thermapen will allow you to cook your steak exactly how you like it. Remember that you are cooking your steak around 5-10 degrees less than your desired temperature during the first stage of reverse searing. The final sear should register the following temperatures, depending how you like it cooked.
