bosco Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) awesome, spend the extra 10 min in prep and remove the seed sacks from the sliced tomato before you dice it up (for the pico). I prefer to butterfly the flank so its thinner. I cook it at 375-400 on the KK now closer to the outer edge so that it has a change to colour out. It will go a bright pink on you if you do it right. I use to cook it indirect on the KJ, but find that I don't need to indirect cook anymore on the KK. Edited February 9, 2017 by bosco

I suspect we'll be using skirt steak, but we'll see what my wife brings home.

Garvin Maybe. Skirt steak is a pretty quick cook just above the coals, so would be worried that a sear after sous vide would overcook it. Curious to hear @bosco's response...the technique for getting the pink color. 3 minutes ago, Garvinque said: No I haven't, might be able to before May which the time I originally stated but this is an extra for me so I have to save up!

bosco Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 So for me I always preferred indirect as it was thin meat. I like the reaction with the smoke and the meat and the citrus and end up with a funny looking pink color. With the KK, I just cook direct on main grate towards the outer edge of the grate at 375 ish. This gets the reaction as it doesn't cook it too hot too fast. 4
