How do you tenderize beef flap meat?
For tougher cuts of steak, you’ll want to tenderize the meat and break down the muscle fibers prior to cooking.
Use something like this flap meat marinade to help tenderize beef before cooking it on the grill, griddle, or inside on a hot cast iron pan.
Marinade flap meat for about 30 minutes to a couple of hours before cooking. Reminder: never use leftover marinade that’s touched raw meat again – ditch it after marinating the beef.

Meat thermometer recommendations
Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly.
On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:
- Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
- ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill.
It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature.
How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.
While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!
