What is flank steak?
Typically inexpensive, this cut of beef is easy and economical enough for a weeknight meal and elegant enough for your next gathering. Flank steak has visible lines running up and down it (known as the grain) due to its minimal fat content. It’s usually a thinner cut of meat, making it easy to overcook compared to other cuts. Lucky for you, our method of rolling it creates the perfect barrier for moisture and flavor. Comment below if you’ve tried it for yourself!Â
