A few things worth knowing.

How long does flank steak take in the grill?

For 0.75-inch flank steak, 1.5-2 lb, the chart baseline is 8-10 minutes at 400°F. Adjusted sizes and temperatures are modelled estimates.

What makes flank steak cook faster or slower?

Use evenly sized pieces so the center and outside finish closer together. Thickness, initial temperature and appliance output also matter. A total basket weight does not describe the thickness of each piece.

Can I cook flank steak from frozen?

This method has no supported frozen model. Thaw safely first and use the reference shape.

When should I start checking?

Check at 8 minutes for this setting. Keep cooking if the center has not reached the appropriate safety endpoint or texture. A timer is a reminder to check.

How do I know when flank steak is done?

Reach 145°F before removing from heat, then rest for at least 3 minutes. A thermometer beats any timer.
