Charbonadoes, or carbonadoes

Maybe I can finally add something to this effort, at least indirectly, as
this comes from Adamantius article which can be found in the FOOD-MEATS
section of the Florilegium as: Carbonadoes-art

It is used as both a verb and a noun in The English Housewife, Gervase
Markham, 1615.

Charbonadoes, or carbonadoes, which is meat broiled upon the coals (and
the invention therof first brought out of France, as appears by the
name) are of divers kinds according to men's pleasures:

Now for the manner of carbonadoing, it is in this sort; you shall first
take the meat you must carbonado, and scotch it both above and below,
then sprinkle good store of salt upon it, and baste it all over with
sweet butter melted, which done, take your broiling iron; I do not mean
a gridiron (though it be much used for this purpose) because the smoke
of the coals, occasioned by the dropping of the meat, will ascend about
it and make it stink; but a plate iron made with hooks and pricks, on
which you may hang the meat, and set it close before the fire, and so
the plate heating the meat behind as the fire doth before, it will both
the sooner and with more neatness be ready: then having turned it, and
basted it till it be very brown, dredge it, and serve it up with vinegar
and butter.

(talk about run-on sentences).
