Q

What is a Flank Steak?

A

The flank steak is a beef steak cut from the abdominal muscles of the cow. A relatively long and flat cut, flank steak is used in a variety of dishes including London broil and as an alternative to the traditional skirt steak in fajitas. It can be grilled, pan-fried, broiled, or braised for increased tenderness.

The cut is common in Colombia, where it is known as sobrebarriga, literally meaning “over the belly”.[1]

Flank steak is best when it has a bright red color. Because it comes from a strong, well-exercised part of the cow, it is best sliced against the grain before serving, to maximise tenderness.

Lady Gaga wore a meat dress made of flank steak to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.
