  • nodock,
    I've found that flank is a bit denser than other cuts and it takes longer to cook than other steaks of similar thickness. I'd do 3 minutes a side at 600. Depending on thickness, that should get you to rare or a bit beyond if you started at room temp. Don't go beyond medium rare though. Rest. Slice thin...fajitas!!!

  • nodock,
    I Egg a lot of flank steaks. I don't think flank needs to be marinated. Montreal Steak seasoning is great on flank (the Naked Whiz mentioned the seasoning in some regard about two years ago and I've been using it ever since.) For medium rare I heat the Egg as high as I can, cook for two minutes, flip, cook for two minutes more, close the bottom and top vents and cook (dwell) for an additional two minutes - six minutes total. Cut it across the grain and hold your knife at a sharp angle to get wide, thin slices. You won't go wrong following any of Mad Max's cooking suggestions.[p]****
