Description

Flank steak is a flat, lean and flavourful cut from the belly of the animal. The meat has long, pronounced muscle fibres, which makes the direction you slice it crucial — always cut across the grain for tenderness. Lots of flavour at a relatively low price.

Resting

Rest for 5–8 minutes and always slice across the muscle fibres. Correct slicing matters as much as correct temperature for flank steak.
