Flank Steak FAQs

Here are some quick ticks and trips to getting the perfect smoked flank steak every time.

If you have any additional questions please leave us a comment and we will do our best to answer them!

Is there another word for Flank Steak?

One word comes to mind…delicious. But if you’re talking about in terms of another word that the meat butcher may call it instead of Flank Steak, keep your eyes peeled for London Broil as well. This is still going to be the same cut that you’re familiar with when you order a Flank Steak as well. 

Can you smoke a steak in a smoker?

Absolutely. And in all honesty, it’s an absolute must. There’s nothing quite like that smoky flavor that you’ll get with each and every bite. For those master grillers out there, it’s also all about the smoke ring on the steak. A good rule to keep in mind is that every 1-2 pounds of meat should be able to smoke in the smoker for an hour, easily. (but this can vary depending on how hot your smoker can actually get)

Do you know how you’ve smoked a steak perfectly in the smoker? After you pull it out of the smoker and let it rest, you’ll see a beautiful smoke ring on the interior of the steak which is visible when you cut into it. 

That smoke ring is comparable to grill masters as what football players feel when they win the Superbowl. (okay, maybe an exaggeration…but you get the idea)

Should you marinade Flank Steak?

Always planning on marinating your flank steak, if possible. If done properly, a good marinade doesn’t overtake the smoky flavor but rather adds a nice compliment to it instead. 

There are all different types of marinades that can be done, so make certain that you’re choosing on that your taste buds love and enjoy. 

How to tell if a steak is done

The easiest way to tell if a steak is done is to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. If you like your steak rare, you’ll want to remove it from the grill in between 130-135 degrees. For medium rare, the internal temp should be at least 140 degrees, while a medium cooked steak will show an internal temperature of at 155 degrees or more. And for those of you who like very well done, the meat thermometer should show an internal reading of 165 degrees. 

If you don’t happen to have a meat thermometer, you’re going to have to judge by touch. When you press down on the center of the steak and it feels squishy and soft like your cheek, that piece of meat is more than likely at a heat point of medium-rare. The harder it gets to push down in the center of the steak, the more done that piece of meat is going to be.
