The Flank
The Flank is a cut with character and strength. Taken from the belly area, it is lean and muscular with a rich, beef-forward flavor. Known for its distinctive grain and firm texture, the Flank shines when marinated and grilled or sliced thin against the grain for tacos, fajitas, or stir-fry. It is a favorite among those who appreciate bold flavor and satisfying chew.
What You’ll Get
Each quarter share includes about 11 to 12 lbs of Flank. A half cow brings 23 to 24 lbs, providing plenty of lean, flavorful meat for a variety of meals. A full share offers around 46 lbs, perfect for grilling, marinating, or slow roasting. This cut rewards careful preparation and is best served medium rare to medium to keep it tender.
Why It Matters
The Flank stands out for its bold taste and versatility. It may require a little extra attention to slice correctly, but the reward is well worth it. With its robust flavor and lean profile, it fits perfectly into dishes that celebrate real beef without excess fat. For cooks who love texture and depth, the Flank is a reliable go-to.
