charbroiling
Open fire method
Charbroiling is cooking food over an open flame or very high heat, producing a distinctive charred flavor and grill marks.
The term combines char with broiling, emphasizing the slight burning that occurs when fat drips onto hot coals or burners and flames back up.
Restaurant menus often advertise charbroiled steaks and burgers as premium items: The charbroiled burger had that smoky, slightly blackened taste you can't get from a flat griddle.
