I mix up Dales sauce, Italian dressing and some steak seasoning.

Stuff it with cream cheese, jalapeños and wrap it in bacon

Cut it up, tenderize it, wrap it around onion and bell pepper, marinate in Italian, grill.

Brush with olive oil. Salt, pepper, and sear.

Once you reverse sear one and eat it rare at about 128-130 degrees you'll never eat it another way.


But not to be an arse and avoid your question, if you have a way to smoke it until internal temp is about 125, then pull it off an let it rest while your grill gets hot as it can get, throw it back on and sear it.

Reverse sear-In the oven to internal temp to 132 then 30 secs each side on a pit about to melt.
Deer bombs- bite size chunks wrapped in bacon over wood if you have it.

I cut mine in half so the two pieces I have are about the same thickness and not so long. salt them with kosher salt pretty liberally about four hours before I throw them on. Cook at 250 or so on the grill until the internal temp is about 110-115. Pull it off and rub lightly with olive oil or butter or whatever you wanna use. Get the grill crazy hot and sear for about 3 mins on each side or until the internal temp is about 125-130. Pull it off and put some butter and black pepper on them.

I've seen a lot of this "salting" recently. What does that do to the meat? Tenderizes? Breaks down the connective tissue, I presume? I take it you rinse it off real good before cooking?

I think it helps take some excess moisture out. Removing that moisture means it will start searing or browning versus steaming.

Same with ground meat. Dry as much as possible before browning Or you will be steaming or braising it for a few minutes before.

Light olive oil, salt & pepper and grilled rare of course.

If you want it more tender, do this:
-cut the strap into 2.5" pieces
-turn the pieces so the cut side is down to the cutting board
-push down with your palm so the muscle tears and it smushes into a patty of sorts
-cook rare

It's so freaking tender, you can cut it with a fork. I finish them with unsalted butter.

I’m normally just an olive oil, salt and pepper guy myself. However, if you want to use a marinade check out Jeremiah Doughty’s super juice recipe for marinade. I’ve used it several times and it is very good while not overpowering the meat.
