Take a look at that cross-grain—it’s the telltale characteristic of any flank steak in addition to its crowd-pleasing taste.
The flank steak is a large, flat cut taken from the extremely flavorful flank primal. It’s whole and generally isn’t divided into smaller portions.
Rich, meaty, and quick-cooking, flank steak is a great choice for beefed-up buffets or large parties. We like to marinate and grill it, then slice thinly against the grain for added tenderness.
