First Light Wagyu Flank Steak (half)

This is a flank steak, cut in half for a smaller-sized option. We also sell the whole piece if you want the larger option. Flank steak is a lesser-known but very flavorful cut of beef, easily recognizable by the grain that runs long-ways across the beef. (Always cut against this grain!) Also known by the French as a Bavette steak. The rich, beefy, mineral flavor on these 100% grass-fed wagyu flank steaks from First Light Farms is truly outstanding - a staff favorite! Flank steaks are great with a marinade because the coarse, grainy nature of the cut takes on the flavors of the marinade well, but the bold taste of the beef won't be overpowered either. Fantastic for anything that calls for beef strips - tacos, carne asada, stir fries, sandwiches, and lots more. When ready to cook, go hot and fast and serve medium rare. Cut against the grain after resting. Sold by weight! If you are looking for a specific weight, add a few pieces to your cart (the specific weights of those pieces will be displayed), and then remove the ones you don't want. About the producer: "Like steak with headphones on." That's Mark Schatzker, author of Steak: One Man's Search for the World's Tastiest Piece of Beef, describing our new 100% grass-fed wagyu from First Light Farms in New Zealand - what he considers to be the best beef in the world. We agree. Why? First Light were the first farmers in the world to marry the incredible marbling that wagyu genetics can deliver with a 100% grass-fed diet on lush New Zealand grassland & healthy soils. That means you get the deep, sweet, nutty flavor of wagyu - developed by a lifelong of grazing healthy pasture - accentuated by rich, natural marbling. It took a decade of fine-tuning the process, but First Light nailed it. The end result is beef that is both incredibly delicious (winners of the World Steak Challenge for 4 out of the last 5 years) AND incredibly healthy - First Light's grass-fed wagyu tenderloin tested at an incredible 1:1.3 omega 3 to 6 fatty acid ratio, a basically perfect score, meaning that this very nutrient-dense meat will not cause inflammation. (In fact, it was the healthiest ratio ever tested by the lab at the University of Toronto - which is not surprising given that grain-fed beef typically ranges from 1:9 to 1:25.)
