Love the marinade. I'm another cook who rarely measures but I think I had roughly the equivalent proportions of ingredients. We have a gas grill and I did leave a bit of the marinade on the meat when I grilled it, left all burners on highest setting, and cooked about 2 minutes on each side... simply fabulous. I also left the meat sitting in the marinade for way more than hour - closer to 3-4 actually, and it was as tender as butter. Will probably use this or some variation of this marinade in future, as flap steak is becoming easier to find and is an economical alternative to the more expensive cuts.

Loved the marinade. Used it on sirloin steak, which doesn't have much marbling, but the marinade made it very tender and juicy. Cooked it medium rare. Marinated it for about 2 hours, then wiped the marinade off and put olive oil on it before cooking so it wouldn't stick to the grill. next time I think I'll use pineapple juice instead of lime juice, and maybe add a bit more brown sugar, as I like a little sweetness to my marinade. The marinade made the steak as tender as a rib-eye, which is my favorite cut. Served it with vegetables cooked on the grill, and roasted fingerling potatoes. Watermelon and cantelope for dessert. I'll definitely use this marinade again.

I came upon this when looking for a recipe to use skirt steak. Disappointing. I cooked on a gas grill so I understand the meat would not come out exactly the same, but the marinade did not impart much flavor either - and I followed the recipe exactly. Too much oil, for a start, and not much flavor.

Needed 90 seconds per side. Besides that followed recipe exactly. Fabulous. Served with tortillas charred in cast iron skillets. Served with Alton's guacamole, grilled peppers. Yum!

The ingredients used for this marinade were PERFECT! I don't take the time to measure things out for something as simple as a marinade, and I know I will want to add more or less of everything. I just grilled it with some high heat and added salt and pepper to the meat when I put in on the grill.

The flavor was amazing and my husband and I couldn't stop eating it.

The ingredients are what matter here, not the hair dryer. :0

I agree with the other posts that one cannot give five stars to a recipe that is only followed 50%. Most everyone agrees that the marinade is great but the cooking method is HORRIBLE! Try eating steak that is covered in crunchy bits of charcoal. Yuck! We had to throw it out. I really respect Alton Brown but this recipe was a huge disappointment.

I really liked this; I used sirloin steak instead of flank or skirt because of preference and price. I also added some cilantro to the blender. Served with homemade pico, cojito cheese and red cabbage - yummy! Definitely a keeper!

Putting the steak directly on the hardwood charcoal is a must for recipe. This method took the steak to a whole level. I was so surprised how well this worked, when I did this my friends looked at me like I was nuts. Didn't have hair dryer so I used a piece of cardboard and just fanned it really hard. I don't think you can use reg charcoal, not one drop of ash was on my steaks what so ever. I did use my own marinade though, bourbon brown sugar soy and garlic. Amazing way to cook a steak, from here on out I will start cooking all of my steaks using this method

My husband and I liked this recipe exactly as written. I am intrigued by the suggestion of using a chipotle chili in the marinade and may try that next time.

This was absolutely DELICIOUS! I also used shallot because I didn't have any green onions. I added sliced vidalia onions, jalapenos & red peppers to the marinade (marinated for 5 hours and grilled the veggies and meat to make fajitas. A little roasted corn salsa, guacamole and cilantro lime rice...... Fabulous!
