Very good marinade for a tasy cut of beef. For those sayin the flat iron is too tough you must be cutting it incorrectly. Try cutting in 1/4" strips ACROSS the grain. This makes a world of difference. Use fresh roasted and smashed garlic instead of garlic powder.

Great recipe and blending of flavors. I have tried this one a few times and experimented a few times. I agree that this one was intended for pork. I like this little add on I used - 2 T. good bourbon and 1 T finely minced pecans along with a pinch of high quality cayenne pepper. Also, I sub'd a T of honey for one of the T's of molasses. You can't go wrong with the original recipe and this one is fun to play with and find new possibilities.

My mother made caramel dumplings when I was a child and they were the best. The result of this recipe does not compare. Corrections to consider- a well-seasoned cast iron skillet is a must (no exceptions), use white granulated sugar and brown it in the skillet (this takes practice and good timing), and try it with some butter-salted pan seared pecans on top. The crunch is nice and the salt with the sweet is nice.
