Red meat flank is a lean, flavorful cut of beef commonly used in various cuisines, including Mexican, Asian, and American dishes. Originating from the abdominal muscles of the cow, flank steak is known for its robust taste and versatility in cooking, often grilled, seared, or slow-cooked. Nutrition-wise, it is a good source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as iron and zinc, which support energy production and immune function. Although it is relatively low in fat compared to other red meat cuts, its saturated fat content warrants moderation for heart health. Choosing properly portioned servings and pairing it with vegetables and whole grains can enhance its nutritional value. Flank steak is highly valued for its ability to absorb marinades, making it a favorite for flavorful dishes with diverse culinary influences.
