Anyone cooked meat directly on charcoal before?

I got the idea from watching Good Eats. I'm making steak and chicken fajitas, and I've got a half inch piece of flank steak. I'm thinking about 1:30 on each side should do I(I'm just gonna cook the chicken normally). Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there something else I should keep in mind.

Thats called the Neandrethal method.

Do you mean like the meat touching the charcoal? or just cooking over direct heat?

just eat the charcoal and give me the meat

You basically lay a thin piece of meat directly on the charcoal. Alton Brown showed me, I swear.

I'm beginning to think no one has done this. Posted on 5/14/12 at 11:15 am to Patrick O Rly

Schwartz always talks about how he does this.

I've never done it. Seems like it would burn to a crisp and taste like beef jerky coated in charcoal. I've cooked stuff wrapped in foil on top coals but not bare.

I'm always looking to try new stuff out. It's not a high dollar piece of meat to begin with.

I did it recently on accident, but it was pecan wood and not charcoal. I was cooking some chicken breast on skewers over a camp fire. I had my bricks set too low and when I placed my chicken over the fire they sat right on the coals. Said "screw it" and left them there.
Best chicken I've ever cooked.

I've seen this before, but have never personally tried it.

Veggies that are wrapped with foil yes, meat no.

So I'm NOT crazy. 
I'm gonna try it with my chicken breast too. I've got them butterflied so it shouldn't take long.
