Sounds good! I've had a brisket soaking in a red wine marinade, with lots of spices, onions, and peppers slow cooking on the smoker for street tacos. Started it last night. It's falling apart and I've been sneaking strips all afternoon. Got black bean soup with tasso in a pot and just finished up a batch Mexican rice.

It wasn't bad. Had a good flavor that was there but not overpowering.

Didn't realize how much flank steak costs. But, I guess everything is expensive right now.

How much did it run? I get flank quite often for tacos al carbon. Usually around $9 a pound. Kroger's meat counter. I guess it's been about a month since I got any, though.

That's about what I paid. I guess that's right then. It's not something I usually get.

The recipe called for flank, flap, or skirt steak. Didn't even see the other two in the store.

Hardly ever see flap. With flank the grain runs the length of the cut while it runs across the length with skirt. Flank is leaner, yet more tender, but skirt seems to have more flavor.

Nice para-phrsing. Where'd you copy and past that from?

I got in a discussion with my cousin about grills a while back. We both kept trying to one up each other by sending links to different bad ass grills. I saw this bad boy and just had to have one. Then I saw the price tag. I have some welding experience so I decided to go ahead and make one. It turned out great and I’ve already done one pig on it. A buddy of mine trapped a bunch of wild hogs last night so he’s going to bring me a couple. I may try the Asado cross this time.

Here are the crosses. I made a few of these but so far I’ve only done chicken and salmon.
