Any thoughts on flank or skirt steaks on the smoker?

crboggs · Jan 15, 2021

Oldest daughter has some issues with fatty cuts of red meat...so we do alot of skirt and flank steaks...normally in a broiler.

I'd like to try one or both on the smoker.

Anyone have any wisdom to share?

Not the best idea. Skirt steaks are better cooked quickly on a high temp. Maybe try smoking a tri tip. It is a sirloin so not so fatty at least compared to brisket

Agree 100% with the guy who I can't believe the admins allowed his name! [

High heat blast, no low and slow on those puppies.
Either on a cast iron pan or your grill.
Some sirloins do not have much fat on them - or try venison, bison, elk.
They sell it in specialty stores here.

Skirt steak takes a max of 6 minutes over hot flame with one flip somewhere in the middle. Flank, maybe 10 minutes.

tri-tip smokes up great with oak or almond. I wouldn't let it go more than 2h but it picks up plenty of flavor.
Chicken or turkey are good if those work for your kid

We do alot of chicken or pork. But my wife and youngest daughter are dedicated red meat eaters. So I'm trying to find a good middle ground.

Picking up the new smoker has really opened my eyes to other cuts of meat we've never eaten before...so things like a tri-tip, picanha, and etc are really intriguing.

I foresee smoked chicken thighs or turkey legs in my future...
