Effects of Photochemical Smog. Photochemical smog's effects cause damage to the respiratory system and environmental systems with the release of nitrogen oxide (NO), ozone and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These effects are worse when the sun is highest because the pollutants react with it.
This cut is called a flank steak because it literally comes from the flank of the cow â its side, below the ribs. It's a fairly wide and thin cut; it's only 1 to 1 1/2 inches at its thickest and it becomes even thinner toward one end.
Get the Recipes. Flank steak is one of those cuts of meat that's custom-built for the grill. When cooked right, it has a mild, beefy flavor and lean texture, with just the right amount of chew when you slice it thinly across the grain. Butterfly that flank steak and stuff it with flavor-packed ingredients like Italian cold cuts, cheeses, and punchy condiments, and you're really in business.
