Details

Our Wagyu flank steak clears up the bad reputation this cut has with some home cooks, conjuring up visions of dry, tough plates of beef. The Snake River Farms flank steak is full of flavor and remarkably tender. The broad shape makes it easy to slice and serve.

For the best results, be sure to cut against the coarse grain. This American Wagyu steak works well with your favorite marinade, but this is a cut that is delicious with simple seasonings. A fast and easy main dish to serve a crowd.

Average weight: 2 lbs.

Cooking Tips

The flank steak is best prepared medium rare to medium. 

Be sure to completely thaw your steak before cooking. 

Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Check the temperature with a good quality thermometer. 

Rest your steak at least 10 minutes before serving to let the internal temperature equalize and allow the juices to be reabsorbed. 

The flank has a distinct grain that runs the length of the steak. Slice against the grain across its width for a tender bite. 

Finish your steak with a light sprinkle of flaky salt for a nice presentation and an appetizing salty crunch. 

Beef Grading

Beef Grading: Snake River Farms beef grades start at USDA Prime, the top grade on the USDA scale. The majority of SRF beef is marbled well beyond this level. To grade SRF, we use a 12-point Beef Marbling Score (BMS), which measures marbling that exceeds the USDA scale.

SRF Silver® - BMS of 4 to 5. Marbling comparable to USDA Prime. 

SRF Black® - BMS of 6 to 8. Significantly more marbling than USDA Prime.   

SRF Gold® - BMS of 9 to 10. Dramatically more marbling than USDA Prime. 

SRF Gold Plus™ - BMS of 11 to 12. The highest marbling available from Snake River Farms.

Flank

Flank steak comes from the flank primal located just beneath the rib end of the loin. The SRF Wagyu™ flank primal produces lean, yet flavorful cuts. The flank steak is a single muscle, called the rectus abdominus, and requires minimal butchering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is flank steak the same as skirt steak?

The flank steak and skirt steak are two different cuts of beef and will cook differently based on variations in shape and texture. Flank steaks are typically more widely available than skirt and come from the flank primal located near the cow's hind legs. Skirt steaks are found in the plate primal and are closer to the forelegs of the animal. Both steaks are fantastic cuts, packed with flavor, but the skirt is slightly more marbled.

How to cook a flank steak

Direct grilling is a great method to cook a steak like the flank steak that is typically thinner than 1.5”. Turn on grill to medium heat. Season grill with a light coat of vegetable oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper or your favorite rub. Place steak on hot grill, close lid and allow to cook for 2 minutes. Lift steak off the grill, turn 45 degrees and place back on the grill. Allow to cook 2 more minutes. Turn steak over and cook for 2 minutes. Lift steak off the grill, turn 45 degrees and place back on the grill. Allow to cook for 2 more minutes. For medium rare, the total cook time is 8 minutes. Check the temperature of the thickest part of the steak to determine when it is done to your preference. Remove steaks from the skillet and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 5 minutes. The steaks continue to cook and the temperature will rise about 5°F. Finish with a pinch of flaked salt. Serve. Learn how to cook any steak perfectly.

What is American Wagyu?

American Wagyu is purebred Japanese Wagyu crossbred with high-quality American cattle breeds. The result is beef with rich marbling that bastes itself as it cooks, delivering deep beef flavor and exceptional juiciness. In a thin, high-heat cut like the outside skirt, that marbling makes a meaningful difference in the finished bite.

Reviews

I received one of these

"I received one of these on a free offer back in May. Grilled it medium rare and sliced it at an angle. Fixed fajitas with peppers, onions guac, and a little salsa. It was almost a shame to add everything else to such a great tasting steak. Much better than I expected and made some of the best fajitas I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve added one or two of these to every order I’ve placed all summer long. If you’ve never had it, you’ve gotta try it. You won’t regret it!"

This cut is the cheapest

"This cut is the cheapest cut we received from SRF as a bonus (get 2 if you spend more than $399) which I usually wouldn’t normally eat and despite it being one of the cheaper cuts it was incredibly delicious! I’m a steak snob and that says a lot! LOL"

I would give this wagyu

"I would give this wagyu flank steak 10 stars if they were available! Honestly, it was the most tender flank I have ever prepared and eaten. I did make a marinade but frankly it was more effort than it was worth and this incredible flank did not need it. Next time, just salt and pepper and some garlic. I seared it in my cast iron skillet and finished it quickly in the oven. It was so tender that it almost fell apart in my hands while I was moving it around . To prepare just salt generously with kosher salt and let it sit around for awhile. Bring to room temp before searing. Two large meals and sandwiches for several days. Best ever!! SRF was wonderful with the billing and packing. Their meat has always arrived frozen and packed in dry ice. A nice plus: they also send the above in a zippered, substantial bag for future use. I am really just a regular, senior user! That is: not paid or asked for this review. You definitely get what you pay for from SRF!"
