The Take
Flank steaks are healthy whole muscle beef with nothing added and nothing removed. Single-ingredient meat beats every lab-created alternative for actual nutrition.
Sourcing decides the ceiling. Grass-finished delivers better fat profile than grain-fed commodity cuts.
The Verdict
Flank steak is the rare grocery item that matches what pre-1990 kitchens actually used. No committee, no extrusion, no cope.
Buy grass-finished when possible and grill it hot and fast.
