Once hard to find - today, flank steak is probably the steak cut par excellence that every meat enthusiast loves to have on the barbecue. Despite the low fat content, the flavour of this cut is very subtle. The flank steak is beautifully marbled, with long fibres.
Meat knowledge
Another trendy cut that has made its way over from the USA is the flank steak. For a long time used almost exclusively as a mince, this cut from the belly flank of the beef has now become a real steak highlight. And for good reason: despite its low fat content, flank steak has an intense flavour
Flank steak - perfect for the grill & frying pan
The long, fine fibres are absolutely characteristic of Fitmeat flank steak. It is ideal as a classic pan-fried or barbecued steak, or for making small quantities of pastrami at home. The steak can be prepared unseasoned, but also takes well to spices and marinades, making it a versatile product.
What is so special about calf flank steak?
The term calf or heifer refers to female cattle that have not yet calved. The meat has a beautiful dark red colour and very fine fibres. The meat also has a special marbling that enhances the flavour
This first-class marbling, or the storage of fat in the muscle, is the result of the calf's very slow growth. As a result, the flank steak is remarkably tender and has an intense, full-bodied flavour.
Recommendation for cooking
Medium rare at approx. 53 °C core temperature
Quantity per person
A flank steak weighs approx. 850 g, but usually between 700 g and 1000 g. We recommend that you calculate with approx. 250 g of meat per person. Strong eaters can also manage a flank steak in pairs.
Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
