Flank Steak

Flank Steak

Lean, bold, and the most useful steak in the freezer.

Flank steak comes from the abdominal muscle, which means it is lean, tight grained and packed with the kind of deep beef flavor that leaner cuts are not supposed to have. It is one flat piece with no bone and almost no waste, it slices into wide handsome pieces, and it stretches further across a table than its weight suggests.

How to cook a flank steak

High heat, short time, rest it, slice it thin across the grain. Six to eight minutes total on a hot grill or in cast iron, turning once, and pull it at medium rare. Past medium it turns tough, and there is no getting it back.

The slicing is not optional. The grain on a flank steak runs in one obvious direction down the length of the cut. Cut across it, on a slight angle, as thin as you can manage. That single step is the difference between a great steak and a chewy one.

Flank takes a marinade better than almost any cut. Four hours is plenty, overnight is fine, and lime, soy, garlic and a little brown sugar is the version most people come back to.

What to make with it

  • Fajitas. Our marinated flank steak fajitas recipe is the one we cook at the ranch
  • Steak salad. Sliced cold over greens with a sharp vinaigrette
  • Stuffed and rolled. Pounded thin, filled, tied and roasted, then cut into pinwheels
  • Stir fry and steak sandwiches. The thin wide slices are made for both

Is flank steak tough?

Only if you overcook it or cut it the wrong way. It is a working muscle with a strong grain, not a tender loin cut, so it depends entirely on technique. Medium rare and sliced thin across the grain, it is genuinely tender. Well done and sliced with the grain, nothing will save it.

These come off our own black Angus, born on this ranch in Independence, Kansas, grass fed on native Kansas pasture and grain finished on the corn and oats we grow ourselves. One animal, start to finish. We tag every calf at birth, so if you want to know which steer your steak came from, call the ranch and ask. Vacuum sealed and flash frozen at peak freshness, shipped to your door.

Want the whole animal instead of the cut? Most families near us start with a quarter beef share, about 110 pounds of steaks, roasts and ground beef from one steer. All three sizes are on the beef shares page.

To say I’m a fan is an understatement. They get their own drawer in the refrigerator! The taste and quality of these beef sticks is fantastic, looking forward to trying the other flavors.

Customer photo review of Top Sirloin Steak

I'll never buy beef from the grocery store again. After enjoying the high quality meat from Diamond R, I'm not even sure that what I was getting at the grocery store is even real meat. Thanks Marty and family.

If you haven't tried the flank steaks, do you yourself a favor and get some. These are some of my favorite for their bold and rich flavor.

The Diamond R ground beef was delivered in a very timely manner. The beef is very tasty and made great Hamburger kebabs. We’re extremely happy with our purchase.

We thoroughly enjoyed the jalapeño flavor—it offered a well-balanced level of heat that was flavorful without being overpowering, making it enjoyable for both adults and children. We look forward to purchasing again.

I am pretty sure these are the best ribeye's we have EVER had!!!! So tender and fresh! We could never go back to a store bought one! Makes our farm to table hearts happy!

Ribeye

Love the flavor and knowing they have clean ingredients

We cooked steaks for our friends visiting from Florida. They loved them. These friends lived in Nebraska and Kansas City, so they know good meat and were highly complimentary.

T-Bone Steak

We have not had an opportunity to try all meats in our box, but the steaks were excellent. We are looking forward to trying all of the cuts. Thank you.

Diamond R Signature Box

Cooked up great no leftovers on the 4th after I was told I made to much and would be eating leftovers all week

Ground Beef Box

Mother Nature interfered, but Diamond R won the battle!!! Salina, Ks., still looks like a warzone, but we are slowly recovering, and thanks to the packaging, our griller box survived with flying colors, plus a heavy blanket we covered it with, 89 hours without electricity, and the ice was still frozen. The box arrived, after the storm, so I put the container and all in a larger container, iced down wih 3 bags of ice, covered with cardboard, heavy blanket, in the basement, box was not opened, long story, but thought i should share, you guys are great! And we are still being spoiled with the meat, Thankyou!!!!Best tasting beef in Kansas!

Griller Box

We haven’t had any of the filets yet but the ground beef was delicious

Marty, My order has been excellent. There is sure a different between store bought and farm bought. I've had some of the hamburger and filets. The hamburgers has a good taste all its own. Thanks.

Fantastic as always!

Ground Beef Box

We love Diamond R beef!! This is our third order and it’s always amazing quality beef. Best steaks we’ve ever had!

I've have a filet and some hamburger thus far. The filet was melt in your mouth awesome. Texture and taste was something I hadn't experience for some time. The hamburger had excellent taste. I was a little surprised on how easy it fell apart in a good way. No artificial binders. So far, I'm very pleased with my order. Thank you. M

About Us

“We now have purchased beef from Diamond R Cattle twice. I was blown away by the taste and texture of the beef, it is truly amazing! Once, I ran out and had to buy from the store, it was NOT the same and reminded me just how important and worth it it is to purchase ENOUGH to last until the next order. The quality is great and I will not longer eat store bought beef!"
