Funny story. My wife mentioned last night that our oldest daughter had asked us to come to their house for dinner tonight. This morning on her drive to work, the daughter calls me and tells me how they have lots of nice veggies to cook, but don't have any meat, and could I please find something in the deep freeze and bring it to their house? In other words, invited to dinner, but bring the main course when you come!
I had just been rummaging around in the deep freeze last night, and what comes to mind is that I MIGHT have time to smoke a chuck roast from frozen, since those usually take 5-6 hours, just add an hour maybe. Or since I have a couple of vacuum sealed flank steaks, just thaw one of those out in an hour or two on the counter, season it, and take it over there and throw it on the son-in-law's gas grill for 5 minutes per side. I am sure one flank steak will feed 4 folks, with sides. They look to be between 2 and 3 pounds each.
So - as a quick unexpected supplier of meat, do I smoke a chuck all day, or just thaw the flank steak for a couple of hours, and take it with me?
