Or Charcoal BBQ

1. Thaw in fridge overnight.
2. Create a mature coal bed large enough to fit the cedar plank directly on top of the coals

Chef’s Tip: If you have a grill rack or resting rack that you can put directly on the coals this can help even out the hot spots. If you don’t have one, then the plank can go directly on the coals just fine (it’s already pre-soaked in ocean water so it won’t burn too quickly)

Just before putting the plank on the coals, fan them with a piece of cardboard or a hairdryer to get rid of excess ashes and soot

1. Place plank on coals, use tongs to put a couple coals directly on the exposed edges of the plank to aid with smoking, then immediately put the lid on the BBQ and close the vents if there are any. Cook, covered 7-9 minutes  until is just cooked through (about 122F in the thickest part of the flesh).
2. Enjoy! Transfer to a platter, cedar plank and all and dig in.
