Can you grill a very thin brisket flat?

[kilohertz]

I have a very thin brisket flat about an inch thick maybe a tiny bit more, just wondering if it’s possible to grill it successfully, I don’t want to spend hours smoking it to 200*, if so, can I cook it just like a flank steak?

Thanks!

You could but you still have to cook it until it's tender. So I would imagine you grill it, then wrap in foil with a little liquid and kind of indirect heat it a little and let it simmer and steam and get tender.

Flats can dry out so easily its just a matter of cooking it until it's tender without drying it out :D

Trim it, cure it and make pastrami. Pull it at 150°f and steam it to 185°f and slice it up thin. It'll probably dry out unless you at least braise it in liquid for hours at a low temp. You could certainly char it first for flavor.

Ok cool, I like the pastrami idea. I put it in the smoker along with the peppers which I am dehydrating, smoker is currently @ 140* been on for 3 hours. I think I will pull it and figure out the pastrami cure and continue tomorrow.

Thanks! Looks like another dinner of leftovers.

Cheers

Done! It's in the brine and will smoke it in a week or so.

Thanks
