Grass fed flank steak can be cooked a number of different ways. Because of this cut's somewhat tough muscle fibers we recommend a quick marinade and cooking to (at most) a medium doneness.
Flank steaks feature in many fajita and taco recipes. For example, you can cut flank steak into strips, put them in a marinade of lime juice and fajita seasonings overnight, then throw them on the grill the next day and pair them with your favorite fajita or taco fillings. Grass fed flank steak also works well when cooked with peppers and vegetables in stir try, or cut into small pieces and cooked with onions, peppers and whatever else you like on a kabob.
Flank steaks are great at absorbing flavors, and because they can stand up to an overnight marinade they are able to adapt to any meal. Starting with a base of 1/4 cup of olive oil you can add any herbs, spice mixes or fruit juices you want to create unique flavor combinations.
When serving, it's best to cut against the grain for more tenderness and a better eating experience. If making flank steak tacos it's best to first cut against the grain into strips then dicing the meat into cubes.
