Ugly Steak/ Flap meat help

BENTE

i bought some of this stuff on saturday and tonight i am planning on making steak tacos with it it has been marinating all day.. i have been told you are supposed to cook these to be more on the done side rather than like a hanger, tri tip, or flat iron. you know how men like rarer red meat.. my question is what temp should i pull it at?


i am planning direct about 400 or so until i hit the right temp...

so anyone familiar with this one let me know (desert filly)

When you are cooking it, think rib meat, because that's what it is. That is why you want to pull it at a higher temp. I don't recall what temp I pulled it at, just that the sampling was really good when I did.

I made a couple steaks last week. Didn't take the temp but I cooked them until they didn't give when you press your finger on them. Well done is much better on these than med rare. -RP

I cooked some this last Saturday. I cooked it at 650-700 deg for 2.5 min on side 1 and 2 min on side 2. It was still red on the thickest part but not overly. Had I gone to 2.5 min on side 2 I think that would have been too much.

BTW, I used Cowboy lump filled to the top of the fire ring on a large BGE (so the grill would be close to the burning lump).

Terry...I tell you...a man after my own heart. From the mouth of the "throwdown" winner....
I hot tubbed them...then about 2 mins per side. They were well done, and sliced across the grain. I didn't marinate them either...just salt and pepper.

Where did you buy them at there? I'll have to tell my folks.

Sam's Club usually carries it. Usually around $3.50 a pound. Great stuff. Usually so tender you can cut it with a fork.
