Flank Steak

Flank steak is sold in packages varying 1.2-1.7 lbs. Price is based on $10 per pound.

Flank steak is named for the Flank primal from which it’s cut. It’s a long, thin muscle that runs along the back half of the cattle’s belly. It is naturally very lean and does best when marinaded prior to cooking, allowing the muscle fibers to tenderize. Because it is comparatively low in intramuscular fat, it should be cooked quickly over high heat, allowing the meat to retain moisture while it cooks through.
