About Beef flank
Beef flank is a lean, flavorful cut taken from the abdominal muscles of the cow. Known for its fibrous texture, it's a popular choice in various global cuisines, including Mexican dishes like fajitas, Chinese stir-fries, and French braised recipes. This versatile cut is rich in protein, iron, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting muscle growth and oxygen transport in the body. It's low in fat compared to more marbled cuts, making it a healthier red meat option when trimmed properly. However, due to its toughness, it requires proper preparation, such as marinating or slow cooking, to ensure tenderness. While nutritious, moderation is key as overconsumption of red meat can be linked to health concerns. Perfectly suited for grilling, broiling, or thin slicing against the grain, beef flank is a go-to for those seeking a balance between flavor and nutritional value.
