What is flank steak?

Spoiler. Flank steak isn’t “technically” a steak! It’s actually a pretty popular cut of beef that comes from the cow’s belly muscles. It’s super lean and has minimal fat on it.

Because of the lack of fat on this cut of meat, home cooks sometimes think that the cut is tough but that’s not the case! You just need to marinate it, don’t overcook it, and be sure to cut against the grain.

You can generally find flank steak for a reasonable price at bigger stores like Costco or Whole Foods Market. However, if you head to your local butcher, it may have a higher price point because it is may be a “rarer” cut of beef. But, overall you will see the price point between a Sirloin Steak and a New York Strip Steak.
