My plan is to grind it for burgers since I've heard that it's tasty. Is that a good idea or should I just cook it whole? Never cooked just a flat before so I'm thinking just doing the burgers.image

    I'd mix the flat in some some chuck or ribeye.

    I had it ground for burgers on the last one. Very good.

    I have ground several flats for burgers. I grind then add seasonings and fish sauce and grind again. The double grind seems to help distribute the fat more evenly. Oh - use the big holed plate on your grinder.

    Well, went ahead and ground it up before I checked the thread again. the fish sauce sounds intriguing, may do that. I will patty it up in an hour or so, can't wait.

    These were really really good burgers. I mixed in some Hoisin(didn't have fish sauce) sauce with the ground beef, seasoned with Jim Beam Rub and cooked raised direct 400* till 155*. Amazing. Some of the best I've had. image
