I just bought a Blackstone and it seems like every video I click on it’s your channel so I had to sub you gained another one today. Thank you for all the helpful tips and tricks.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey Matt I really appreciate it...thanks bud...welcome to the family

[@rodderbob]

Your comments on the cut of meat used is spot on. Flank, skirt, flap, all the "traditional" fajita cuts were favored back when they were not as desirable and therefore cheaper cuts. Times and tastes have changed. As you point out, just use whatever you can find that fits the budget. Good job again.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Bob!

[@cheryldavidson2643]

You're brave griddling out in the cold. It was 5° in Indiana this morning. Thanks for the video..I love these!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Oh wow! Now thats cold. My wife might had to put her foot down and said no on that day. Looking like we are warming up though in the low 40's which will feel like a heat wave.

Fantastic brother! This looked so good. It's 3:30AM and now I'm craving this so bad. Great video 👍

Awe man! This is nothing but perfection! I love the ribeye prep... Gives me the chance to bust out my meat hammer! I always sliced first, but now I never will again, your explanation makes total sense. Also, I love seeing the rare pieces of steak in there! And I'm stealing the tortilla hack😉

Right on Brother. I thinks it make the difference when you get that char on the beef.

Tried this recipe today as the second cook on my griddle. Amazing! I liked the tortilla trick and the marinade was A+! I’m usually a pellet smoker guy but added the griddle to the mix and your channel has been very helpful. Thanks from just down the road in Johnson City, TN.

I've had a decades-long love affair with fajitas ever since I tried my first one at Ninfa's in Houston in '88. When done properly, they are easily a top 3 Tex-Mex dish. And yours, sir, we're done properly! I'd even eat one with just that veggie array, even though I'm a certified carnivore. Thanks for the tips too.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Brad. Love some property done fajitas. Getting the crust on the beef really makes it pop.

Should be in the flat top grill playlist. It's called the best Pork chops on the flat top grill. In the pic it shows some potatoes, pork chops, and green beans on the griddle.

[@terryclowers4433]

Could you give amounts you use for your marinade thanks

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Now you got me on the spot. I honestly do not have a recipe. It's horrible i know. If you use a packet of fajita seasoning that will help control the spices for you. Then you can add about 1/2 cup olive oil, juice of one whole lime, about 2 or 3 tablespoons of minced garlic. Then add the packet of seasoning. That should be pretty dang close. Thanks Terry

[@Mr.XYZ6775]

What happened to the lime and grilled jalapeno peppers? Your missing out.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I added lime to the marinade and squeezed fresh lime over the finished product before taking a bite. As dar as the jalapeños i like em but sometimes just a to hot.

[@DexterityNJ]

dumb question, is there any type of gauge for the griddle so you know how much propane you have left? the one thing I hate is that they did not include a scale like a grill has.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Never a dumb question. Not sure about a specific piece but I bought my tanks from Costco because they have gauges on the tanks.

[@DexterityNJ]

@@TheFlatTopKing oh interesting. I'm going to have to check out my costco. I never saw propane tanks but never asked either, Also, I never knew some came with a gauge. thanks for the info!

[@cameronbrown8757]

Simmering acidic foods in cast iron for a long time eats the seasoning. Did you experience degradation on your cast iron pan with the lime juice?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

NO....I honestly have to disagree with comment as well. IF a cast iron is seasoned properly you can do it not problem as long as you know how to clean and reseason. I stand by that because I just posted a video on washing cast iron with soap...yes soap..I think a lot of these ideas are passed down from a long time ago and have never changed with technology...oils are better vs animal fats for seasoning...cast iron is made different today than 100 years ago and the knowledge passed from one person to another can more quickly be transmitted in todays world. Do not be scared to cook on these they can handle it..

is your griddle rusting or does that happen over time?

[@needXC90]

Ribeyes are literally the best cut. Scrap cuts (like flank), should be a fraction of the price.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I wish. When we buy our ribeyes we usually get a great deal. Buy whole and have the butcher cut them for us I think in last couple of years that the popularity with odd cuts have raised the price by being highly recommended. When I pay 13.49 for skirt or 9.79 for flank you know its all messed up. What price are you paying around your area.

[@lpburke86]

Man I love your stuff… I love ribeyes…. *BUT*…. These ain’t Fajitas. This is Ribeyes with vegetables and Mexican seasonings. Fajitas are an actual cut of meat, just like ribeyes are…. Not a preparation method.

[@thefourthnorseman]

Fajitas are usually made with skirt or flank steak, in Mexico with skirt steak or arrachera. So it's not really correct to say it's a cut of meat, it is about the preparation too, but you're right that it's usually made with a particular cut of meat.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I have to 100 percent disagree. Fajitas are a preparation method. Fajitas are NOT a cut of meat. Fajitas are made out what meat they have available. Each area in Mexico will have a different meat option based on local goods. Traditionally it is used with Flank or Skirt, but any meat will do. This is totally a preparation method. Ribeyes are a cut of meat that has been utilized in the fajita preparation method.

[@thefourthnorseman]

@@TheFlatTopKing I agree on the preparation vs cut debate, but you know fajitas is pretty much an American dish. Sure, with tons of Mexican influence and things were probably quite mixed up on both sides of the border around then, but more Texan than Mexican really.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

@@thefourthnorseman yes but lets be honest. Its was originally created by hispanics in texas. Ain’t no way shape or form this is inspired by American cuisine. We as an American really dont have a cuisine. I couldn’t guess but a large i mean a large amount of credit in all American food is or has originated from other cultures. Even in American when they relocate. Irish, English, Hispanic, Mexican, Asian. Regardless as an American would give credit to its histrionics and culture before ours.
