Flap Steak?

Knauf · July 2010

Wife came home with about 3 lbs of this from Costco while looking for skirt steak. Anyone know anything about this cut? How to cook, marinate, slice...?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is better meat for fajitas than skirt steak. Very tender. Great stuff. I marinate it in a mix of Dos XX and lime juice. Then I grill it just like normal fajitas and thinly slice it.

Look this post over I believe Gary is talking about a flap steak.

I only use flap steak for fajitas now. To me, it's better than skirt steak and much better than flank steak.

I cooked some up a few months ago - good stuff. Maybe he'll chime in, but AZRP claims that it is best cooked to well done, even though he is a medium rare guy.

I've use it for carne asada tacos and burritos too. Need to marinate it a little while and cook it quick and hot. Then thinly slice against the grain. Good flavor. Most mexican markets have bottled fajita marinate and also some dry rubs made for carne asada if you don't want to make your own

Yeah, I've tried it medium rare and it was tough and chewy, well done it melts in your mouth. -RP
