Pepper flakes vs. sauce

When I read Annie's posting of her mongolian beef recipe, the second thought I had was....could I sub sriracha sauce for the crushed red pepper flakes? The first thought was could I sub round steak for the flank steak and just cook it longer because it is not as tender a cut of meat. I decided that I could, just check the pepper steak recipe in my crock pot booklet.

So, how do you feel about subbing sriracha sauce for other hot spices? I don't really mind the crushed red pepper, but I think a hot sauce heats up the recipe more thoroughly. I know some hot sauces like Texas Pete have more vinegar in them and might change the true flavor of the recipe. But could you use the sriracha for heat in most any recipe or should it only be used in oriental recipes.

Any opinions welcome!
