Boo - Nothing left! I will try to test next week.
 
hardlikearmour July 28, 2011
The Flankenstein is still available if you're up for it.
 
aargersi July 30, 2011
The Flankenstein is absolutely delicious .... go for it! (I got to try the original!)
 
hardlikearmour July 30, 2011
Since it has remained unclaimed I will happily test the Flankenstein. It sounds absolutely delicious!
 
Bevi July 30, 2011
I'll see if I can get a flank steak locally. If I can, I am in.
 
hardlikearmour July 30, 2011
@Bevi: I will bow out unless you can't find flank. I've got a couple of good sources so it won't be a problem for me to pick some up, and I'm off work Tues so I can make it last minutish if need be.
 
Bevi July 30, 2011
HLA - that would be great if you tested it. I can't find flank in this town and I am too busy getting my place in order for the arrival of the prodigal son to drive up to the nearest real population center to get one. I am up to my ears in lamb chops and chicken breasts, but no flank this week. Sorry for the false alarm. I'll return the favor in the near future!
 
hardlikearmour July 30, 2011
No problem, Bevi! I will gladly test it.
 
Bevi July 31, 2011
FYI I sent my husband out on a flank steak retrieval mission. He came home empty handed. I guess the moral of the story is don't offer to stick your oar in the water if you don't have a boat.

I will try Vietnamese-style Spring Rolls with Korean-style Beef if it's still available to test.

Congrats, EP's! I feel like I won this week because I had never cooked Flank Steak before, and we liked what I came up with very much.
