🥩FLANK STEAK🥩
This week at Burly Brothers Country Butchery we’re highlighting one of the most versatile cuts around — Flank Steak!
Flank steak comes from the lower abdominal area of the cow, giving it a rich, beefy flavor and a lean texture that steak lovers appreciate. While it’s naturally a tougher cut compared to ribeye or strip steak, the secret is all in the preparation — and when cooked right, it’s absolutely incredible.
🔥 Why we love flank steak:
• Bold, rich beef flavor
• Leaner cut with less fat
• Perfect for marinades
• Great for grilling, fajitas, steak salads, stir fry & sandwiches.. and it’s definitely grill weather ☀️
• Slices beautifully for feeding a crowd
📍 Origin of the Cut:
Flank steak has long been popular in Latin American cooking, especially in dishes like fajitas and carne asada. It’s also a favorite among grill masters because it cooks quickly and absorbs marinades extremely well.
👨🍳 Best Way to Prepare Flank Steak:
✔️ Marinate for at least 4–12 hours for maximum tenderness and flavor
✔️ Grill or sear HOT and FAST
✔️ Cook to medium rare or medium (overcooking can make it tough)
✔️ Let it rest before slicing
✔️ MOST IMPORTANT: Slice thin AGAINST the grain for the most tender bite
🔥 Pro Tip:
Try a simple marinade with olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire, lime juice, and black pepper — then throw it on the grill for a perfect summer steak dinner!
