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.
Are flank steak and skirt steak the same cut of meat? No, but they come from the same general area of the cow â the flank or area between the ribs and hip. The skirt steak is the diaphragm muscle. It is a long, flat piece of meat, with a tendency toward toughness. But it has good flavor. It can be grilled or pan fried quickly with good results.
