About Flank

Flank is a lean cut of beef harvested from the abdominal area of the cow, prized for its bold flavor and versatility. Commonly used in cuisines like Mexican, Korean, and American barbecue, flank is a staple for dishes such as fajitas, bulgogi, and London broil. It’s known for its long grain structure, which makes it ideal for marinating to tenderize the meat and enhance its flavor. Nutritionally, flank steak is high in protein, iron, and B vitamins, making it a good choice for muscle building and energy metabolism. However, due to its lower fat content compared to other cuts, it can be tough if overcooked. Choosing lean flank steak can support a balanced diet, but preparation methods, such as frying or serving with heavy sauces, may increase calorie and fat content. Grilling or broiling with lighter seasonings maintains its health benefits while highlighting its rich, meaty taste.
