The Grilling Page

Today I will be grilling flank steak directly on the charcoal.

From wiki:

Skirt steak is a thin, long cut of beef from the diaphragm muscles of the cow.

• Flavor and texture: Skirt steak has even more intense beefy flavor than flank steak. It does contain more tough muscles than flank steak, though, so should only be cooked to rare or medium rare for the most tender texture.

Flank Steak is from the bottom abdominal area of the cow, so it contains a lot of hard-working muscles.

• The meat has a lot of tough fibers running through it and is fairly lean.
• It’s a thicker, wider cut of meat than skirt steak. 
• Flank steak has tons of intense beefy flavor but can be a little tough. Eat it thinly sliced and cut against the grain for maximum tenderness. 
• Flanks steaks take to marinades very well, and some marinades can help to tenderize the meat. High heat and quick cooking is the best way to cook flank steak. It can be stuffed, grilled, or seared.
