    Awesome looking!! Solid cook brother. Flatiron is one of my very favorites. I got a couple from Creekstone that I'm dying to try this weekend.

    Thanks all. The char crust are really great. I overlooked them for years and finally tried a couple. I haven't found one I don't like. Reasonably price as well.

    WOW that looks good!  Great char, and beautiful medium rare practically edge to edge.

    I used to use Char Crust years ago when I was still using a Weber gas grill, but I haven't used it in years.  Maybe I'll try it again -- that looks wonderful!

    It's the golf club by bbq guru. We sell there stuff in our store. I love it. Gets similar results to a weed burner, just less aggressive. I will have to check with bbq guru, they are no longer doing internet sales. I'm not sure if the club is still available. If it is, you might have to find an authorized dealer or some leftover stock on the web.  I think they are shutting down all the internet sales, period.

    I'm a lover of flatiron. Very juicy and flavorful and very versitile. I cook them for everything from chinese to family style steak to, well, fajitas. Enjoy yours and thank you  for the kinds words.

    Thanks @Theophan. I am not afraid to recommend them. I use the SW chipotle, original hickory, garlic and peppercorn, Cajun, even a coffee one. There are several others, but I haven't used them all. I have yet to be disappointed. You don't need really high heat to get the. Nice crust either. Just leave it sit and it really does seal in the juices as they say.

    Unfortunately, I'm more a feel guy when it comes to beef. I would say @ 400-450 for about 5-8 min/ side. I really just get a good crust or sear marks on one side and test the firmness of the beef for desired doneness. Sometimes I will cook at higher temps for a shorter time. Depends on the particular cut. Sorry I couldn't give you more exact info.

    If you love flank steak, you'll really love flat iron. They are a bit more tender and flavorful IMO. They're a can't miss in my book. Welcome aboard!
