Meet our American Wagyu flank steak, one of our favorite cuts to prepare for a group. Each SRF Black Label ™ flank steak is naturally elongated with surprising marbling that adds flavor and tenderness.
Our Wagyu flank steak clears up the bad reputation this cut has with some home cooks, conjuring up visions of dry, tough plates of beef. The Snake River Farms flank steak is full of flavor and remarkably tender. The broad shape makes it easy to slice and serve. For the best results, be sure to cut against the coarse grain. This American Wagyu steak works well with your favorite marinade, but this is a cut that is delicious with simple seasonings. A fast and easy main dish to serve a crowd.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice. Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features an abundant amount of marbling.
Snake River Farms produces beef that measures above the USDA scores. To grade these higher levels of marbling and quality, we utilize the 12-point BMS (Beef Marbling Score or Beef Marbling Standard) from the Japanese Meat Grading Association (JMGA). SRF Black Label ™ and SRF Gold Label ™ both score above USDA Prime.
SRF Black Label ™ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime graded beef.
SRF Gold Label™ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of marbling we offer.
Here's some straightforward information - the flank steak comes from the flank primal located just beneath the rib end of the loin. The flank steak is a single muscle, called the rectus abdominus, that requires minimal butchering.
Flank steak is sometimes referred to as London Broil, which is a traditional recipe that calls for marinating the beef and cooking by pan frying or under a broiler. You might see a cut of beef in a grocery store labeled “London Broil” but it is often a top round cut and not flank steak.
