Flank Steak Beef

Grilling is probably the best way to cook the steak, but you can also cook it in a pan or bake it in your oven. The real trick is to keep the grilling time of the steak to a minimum; this lean cut is best cooked rare, medium-rare or medium. These steaks cook best when cooked over high heat for a short period of time to get the perfect texture and flavor. Spray the pan with a little cooking spray or add olive oil and cook on each side for about four minutes each. The optimum temperature is, again, a medium-rare steak, so your meat doesn’t end up too chewy. It’s packed with lots of tough, lean, long fibrous muscle. Because of those tough muscles, the steak benefits from marinating and long, slow cooking in the oven. A quick roast at a high temperature will add even more flavor to the final dish. In any case, cut the steak vertically across the fibres to increase tenderness.
