Flank steak is a lean, flavorful cut of beef sourced from the abdominal muscles of the cow. Popular in a variety of global cuisines, including American, Mexican, and Asian, it’s commonly used for fajitas, stir-fries, and grilled dishes. This cut is prized for its bold, beefy flavor and slightly chewy texture, best tenderized with marinades or cooked quickly at high heat. Nutritionally, flank steak is a good source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins like B12, essential for energy and blood health. It’s also relatively low in fat compared to other cuts, making it a healthier choice for those monitoring fat intake. However, portion control is important, as excessive red meat consumption has been linked to certain health risks. Pairing flank steak with vegetables or whole grains can make for a well-rounded, nutrient-rich meal.
