Flank is a long, flat steak off the flank primal, and it's one of the most useful cuts in the case. It's lean, the grain runs the length of the steak, and it takes a hard sear better than almost anything — heavy crust on the outside, still juicy inside, as long as you slice it thin across the grain.
Each steak is cut to about 8 ounces, hand-cut with care in Texas and wet aged a minimum of 28 days. No added hormones or antibiotics. Ever.
Of the long, loose-grained cuts, flank is the leanest, which is why it holds a marinade the longest — citrus, garlic, soy and chimichurri all work on it. Its neighbors cook the same way but eat differently: bavette is the most marbled of the three, and outside skirt has the most pronounced grain and takes the most char.
Fajitas, steak tacos, carne asada, stir-fry, or sliced thin over a salad.

Is Flank Steak tender?

Both are flavorful grilling cuts, but Flank Steak is leaner and slightly thicker, while Skirt Steak has more marbling, a looser grain, and an even richer beef flavor. Both should be sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness.

The Flank

The most well-known cut from this section is flank steak. Long and flat with visible muscle fibers, flank steak is prized for its rich flavor and versatility in the kitchen. It performs best when cooked quickly over high heat and sliced thinly against the grain.
Flank steak is a favorite for dishes like fajitas, steak salads, and stir-fries. When properly prepared, this cut delivers deep beef flavor and a satisfying texture that makes it a popular choice for grilling and marinades.
Love the products- all of them. The meat is so good. Here’s what left after dinner tonight from our flank steak order. Tomorrow, if it makes it through the night -w husband and teenager boy- I’ll make steak salad. Delicious!
I am a stickler for flank steak! The last batch I got had over 50% fat attached to each steak. Usually what I order and receive are lean and cook up super. Waiting till I order again.
My last order was not delivered as the instructions indicated. Why do I place detail instructions when they are disregarded?
My order was left by the front door in the sun!
Since moving from Texas, I had made new roots in Georgia and now Mississippi. There are no flank steaks like in Texas! Your flanks are of great quality. A little fat for taste, no bones and they cook exquisitely!
Flank was great, seared in olive oil with just salt & pepper. Cooked it a little less than usual hoping the 44 quality would come through and it was great! Looking forward to cooking the rest.
There are NO flank steaks where I live now! To taste real beef was just devine! I have no photos to share since I ate all the evidence! Will be getting some more!
We ordered for the first time, and we couldn't be happier. Everything came and the order was great. All of the beef was exactly what we thought it to be, and it tastes absolutely amazing. Can't wait to order again.
This cut of meat can be used for many things. I did a slow cooker "pot roast" wit veggies with one. Turned out almost "melt in you mouth" tender with great flavor.
