However, remember that foods that are high in Vitamin D and calcium, such as dairy products, can also be high in saturated fat and trans fat. Make sure to choose low-fat or fat-free options to reduce your risk of developing high cholesterol and heart disease.
Flat Iron steak is not flank steak. It comes from the shoulder clod of the cow, also known as the chuck, and it was only recently âdiscoveredâ as a separate steak. It has a tough membrane attached to it, so in the past it was simply ground into hamburger or it remained with the chuck in the form of a roast.
Skip the flank and go for the skirt. Put a skirt steak next to a flank steak and immediately the words of Irving Berlin come to mind: anything you can do, I can do better. What makes skirt steak better than flank? Flank steak comes in large, flat strips that make it easy to cut down to size for stir frying. Skirt steak comes in even thinner strips that are even easier to break down. Flank steak has a tender, wide-textured grain that makes it great at picking up the flavor of marinades. Skirt steak has an even looser texture that's practically custom-designed for picking up marinades. Flank steak is packed with rich, beefy flavor. Skirt steak is just about the beefiest cut out there.
