Flank steak

[normanaj]

Haven't done one in a few years.In the past they were much like a mini brisket flat but these days I find them to be very thin and rolled in the package.

Is it best to keep it rolled and then tie it with a few strands of butcher's twine or lay it flat?I'm thinking rolled and tied as its pretty thin but I'd love some input on what you guys do with really thin cuts of lean beef.

I unroll mine. Season. Smoke at 225 until IT of about 115 then reverse sear

What jake said. Or just hot and fast over direct heat. Keep it rare or medium rare. Flanks take very well to marinades as well.

Hot and Fast...I go to 125 and rest. I slice on a 45° angle across the grain an serve. Pats of soft Butter every 2-3 slices gives great flavor...JJ

Thanks guys.I'll go with unrolled,smoked and then reverse seared.

I like to marinate in teriyaki and cook over extremely high heat. Boy do I miss the days when flank was considered a cheap cut.

I'm not a heavy on the pics guy but this was insane!Nothing more than spog a few hours before going in the MES with a 1/4 tube of ground charcoal blend pellets and then thrown on the Q to finish.Garlic shrimp in angel hair and grilled asparagus for sides.

I miss flank steaks...especially since seeing yours, which looked about perfect. Like!

Unfortunately, the grocery store that carried them and periodically put them on sale, has closed. They are available elsewhere, but they are too pricey.

Thanks!It was good!

Generally they go between $7.99=$8.99 a lb here.It went up for a while but now that folks for the most part have calmed down the prices and availability are good again.

Soon to be served on a plate near me!

Again nothing but spog on the steak and with rosemary/homefries style potatoes.And yes those are canned green beans...because I like'em.

Will post up the after smoke pics later.
