Is Flank Steak underrated?
Posted on 6/3/23 at 7:56 pm

It’s my favorite cut by far, but I feel like it never gets talked about. Lean and beefy, but doesn’t dry out easily, and it’s a great value, usually $10 or less per lb.
Anybody else love a good flank steak?

Hell yeah.
A nice flank steak on the grill is tough to beat for the price.

Underrated cuts of beef don't cost 15/lb

You’re paying too much if you’re playing $15/lb. It’s $8-9/lb at Sam’s, $10-11 at almost every other store. Even my local beef guy is only $14.

The price has definitely gone up- used to be $5-6/lb, but filets used to be $12-15, and now they’re $20-25.
I like to marinade them like fajitas and grill. Cut the slab into 2-3 pieces, and hit with a hot grill. Tonight, I had some seasoned flank from Albertson’s (Texas pepper, or something like that) that I did in a cast iron skillet to 125. I did a gochujang, soy and honey marinade on some not long ago that was really good with saute’d kimchi and noodles- it may have been a tenderloin, but it was delicious as well.

Appropriately rated…good flavor, good for the grill
Love it with a chimichuri
I don’t think any beef is underrated these days
It’s all high as giraffe arse

Great flavor cut, love it in beef and broccoli, fajitas (as mentioned), and most importantly... a thai spicy beef salad.

Get a flank or skirt weekly. Whole Food usually has one of them on sale every week.

It used to be dirt cheap as it was seen as the one of the cheap cuts that nobody wanted: flank, hangar, skirt.
Prices have jumped up in the last 4-5 years.

Love the flavor, much tastier than most more expensive cuts.

I feel like skirt is so much better.

Outside skirt if you can find...

I’ve been doing top sirloin cap (Picanha) lately. $5.99/lb at Costco. Tastes great.
Do enjoy flank also.

15 years.
15 years ago the Food Network took off like a rocket ship and they showed people what to do with these "lesser" pieces of meat and they instantly shot up in cost. Alton Brown did this.

All three used to be cheap, especially when Winn Dixie puts those yellow tags on them. It’s a little more expensive now but if we get to our local Winn Dixie early on a Saturday or Sunday morning it’s still possible to buy cheap beef.
