Last week, J and I tried to recreate our delicious Thanksgiving steak experience. Instead of getting a flank steak (they were all HUGE), I opted for a flat iron steak. The package said "great for grilling," which is a claim we're still skeptical of.
The steak spent two full days in a vacuum marinater with Italian dressing:
We used our Cuisinart Griddler, which I can't say enough good things about, to grill it:
Our nutcrackers stood guard while J was in the kitchen cooking:
A perfect medium well:
The finished dish (the slices are a little funky shaped because J did his best to give me the pieces that were the most well done - a few of his pieces here are a little too pink for my taste):
Our overall opinion:
Was it flavorful? Yes.
Was it juicy? Yes.
Was it tender? Mostly. Next time we'll try a different cut of steak.
Was it as good as Thanksgiving? Unfortunately, no. But we'll try again to hopefully get it right.
