An apparatus and method for charbroiling of food articles employs a source of radiant energy focused at a region of a surface of the food article that is small relative to the area of the surface and producing at that region an intense heat flux. The region is moved along the surface of the food article so as to char at least portions of the surface without overcooking the interior of the food article.
