What is Flank Steak?
Flank steak is cut from right below the loin. It’s a tender, lean and flavorful piece of meat. It’s also one of the most prized pieces of meat from the cow, which is why it’s rather expensive.
The meat can be grilled, stir-fried, broiled, smoked or air fried. It’s a longer piece of meat. It is the same cut of meat that is traditional used for London Broil, and skirt steaks in classic beef fajitas.

Check the internal temperature of the steak, which should be 135 degrees F.
