Attempted flank steak

[flattop5]

First shot at the hot 'n' fast style flank steak, using a Weber Kettle and a Slow 'n' Sear. I would've liked more of a crust and more color in the meat (center looks good but too pale up top), but at least experiments like this still taste good. Next time I'll raise the grate higher. The chimichurri sauce complemented it beautifully, forgot to get a pic

That looks pretty nice from here. I have found flank to be a little tricky. Skirts are more forgiving, but need more love up front, aka marinating.

Looks good enough to eat

I love flank steaks! This is one of the few steaks that I do marinade. I always marinade mine with Coke and low sodium Dales for about 2-4 hours before cooking. Do two parts Coke to one part Dales. I find the coke really helps tenderize the steak and the Dales just gets along well with the coke.

I usually marinate as well. I know the flavour won't go deep, but just a little bit helps. Have not tried the coke for flank but I think I will. Thanks.

Dales as in Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar?

My daily bread, Dale's Pale!

That's what I was thinking also.

Ahh. I was wondering what Dale's was. We don't get that in Canada but probably any pale ale will do.
