Best Friday Night Dinner

[BDBohnzie]

A few of my groomsmen got me the Weber Performer as a wedding gift 5 years ago, and it has many many uses on it. Only problem is I need to fix the propane starter.

I use Cowboy Charcoal (or regular Kingsford if I don't have time for a run to the hardware store) in the chimney starter and have a beer or 2 while the coals get ready. Did burgers and dogs the Sunday before last, but it won't be long until the grill see some marinated flank steak or some kebabs, or some nice smoked chicken thighs.

I had seen those Weber Perfomers and thought it was pretty cool. I thought that the propane starter might become and issue and from what you say it is. I found a meat that I like better then flank steak by accident. It is called Flat Iron Steak and I find it at Food Lion in the meat section. It lloks like flank steak but its not as flat and is a little more round in shape. I think if you marinate it for 6 to 8 hours it is some of the best meat to marinate. Here check this out about flat iron steak.

The Flat Iron Steak - Is it really the best cut of Beef?

When the starter worked, it was awesome. Throw the coals over top the line, turn the gas on, ignite gas, let it run for 5 minutes, shut the gas off and after a while, gray coals to work with. I need to stop being lazy, take it apart and figure out what it's not working.

I'll have to check that out. I usually grab my flank steaks at Costco, and marinate with all kinds of things. My fave lately has been Newman's Own Mesquite with Lime marinade, but sometimes just some salt and pepper does the trick.

If you like Flank steak you really need to try and find a place that sells the Flat Iron Steak. My wife uses about a 1/4 cup of olive oil & balsamic vinegar dry mustard, dash of salt and pepper, and some Worcestershire sauce. Lets marinate all day.
