flank steaks
Lean cattle sides
Flank steaks are cuts of beef from the abdominal muscles of a cow, below the loin.
The meat is lean, flavorful, and relatively tough, benefiting from marinades and quick cooking at high heat.
Flank steak is typically sliced thin against the grain: grilled flank steak with chimichurri, fajitas made from marinated flank steak.
