I’ve been a little into flank steak lately. The versatility of this cut fuels my experimental curiosity and creativity. This time I decided to give the oven a try. Coat the meat with a simple dry rub, pop in the oven, and out comes a delicious dinner. I love simple meals like this. The meat has a tasty crust and a soft interior. You are also free to cook it to your desired degree of doneness, whether medium or well. And flank steak as always, cut against the grain for God’s sake! Flank steak has a very defined texture, so it’s more important than ever to cut right against it to ensure a tender cut.
