hey y'all - i love all the ideas for marinades and ideas for a flank steak, but i'm now at the set up stage. i'm not a fan of medium flank steak - like mine a little alive in the middle (so to speak). good, crispy outside ... med rare inside. ideas for a set up and temps would be oh. so. appreciated.
gracias

I use my spider to get it down low and get some good crust and color on surface and maintain a med rare center.Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html

@4Runner - thank you ... and set up on the egg? temp wise?
-
I cooked Flank a couple nights ago and it turned out extremely well. I cooked it direct at 250 and pulled it when the internal temp was 125. I brought the Egg temp up to about 550-600 and did a reverse sear to get the outside crispy. Pulled it when internal temp hit 135 and let it rest for about 5 minutes before cutting it. I marinated it in half soy sauce and half water for 24 hours. Delicious!!!

how long was the first cook?

I go direct fast and hot... 600+ till 125 or so... Should only take a few minutes a side.

Flank steak is one of our family favorites. Since it is not a very thick cut, this method works great! Marinate overnight or as long as you can. We prefer some kind of teriyaki marinade. I also use a meat tenderizer to poke a bunch of holes in it. Preheat the grill to 400+, not raised. I always use my CI grid. Make sure the grid is well oiled. Cook two minutes a side, flip, reposition, flip and continue until you get an internal temp of 130ish. Pull, rest, slice across the grain.

Not sure of temp...doesn't matter that much as it is just hot. I don't use a lot of lump since I'm down low and it is a quick cook. I do flip several times...once I like the crust and color I just pull and rest. Worst case is, it is too rare for the wife.

Def go hot n fast... Caveman even to keep the center reddish pink.
Not sure about a marinade; but I'm itching to try the Green Lightning marinade on a piece of beefMSV Chill Spot

@4Runner
"too rare" and "worst" should not be used in the same sentence ... at least not in my abode! -
agreed!Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html
