Découpe Tradition
Originating from the lush pastures of Ireland, this flank steak is distinguished by its long fibres and delicately marbled texture. The grass-fed diet gives this cut a firm chew and a deep beef flavour, with almost herbaceous notes. At Allaert Meat, we select this cut for its authentic character, ideal for those who appreciate robust meats. Sear it quickly in a pan or on a griddle, one to two minutes per side, to caramelise the juices while keeping the centre rare. Let it rest for a few moments, then slice it against the grain to ensure optimal tenderness in the mouth.
When you choose a cut of meat at Allaert, you're not just buying meat; you're participating in a legacy. Each cut is hand-selected by our master butchers, guaranteeing that only the very best reaches your table.

Hand-cut and precision
We prioritize animals from carefully managed farms, raised on a controlled diet with respect for their natural growth cycle. This yields beautifully marbled, consistent, and flavorful meat that retains its tenderness when cooked. Each cut is selected for its reliable quality, texture, and authentic beef flavor.
For skirt steak, very quick cooking over high heat is essential. Heat a cast-iron pan or griddle strongly with a drizzle of oil or beef fat. Sear the meat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, depending on thickness, to create a caramelized crust while keeping the center rare or blue. Cooking it well done would unnecessarily toughen its fibers.
Flank steak is a muscle that works hard, made up of long, thick fibers. If you slice it with the grain of these fibers, the meat will be tough to chew. By cutting against the grain, you break up these fibers, making each bite incredibly tender.
Ireland's humid and mild climate allows cattle to graze on lush, clover-rich grass almost all year round. This natural diet results in a finely textured meat, with characteristic yellow marbling and a deep flavor, with subtly herbaceous notes.
It is not a requirement, as Irish flank steak already has a very pronounced beef flavour. However, its long fibres absorb marinades very well. A mixture of olive oil, crushed garlic, and soy sauce for 30 minutes can tenderise the meat and enhance its natural aromas before searing.
Never neglect resting. Once removed from the heat, place your flank steak on a wire rack or a warm cutting board and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 3 to 5 minutes. This allows the juices, which concentrate in the center during cooking, to redistribute evenly throughout the fibers, ensuring a juicy cut of meat.
Its clear chew calls for classic and comforting accompaniments. Fries cooked in beef fat, rosemary-sautéed new potatoes, or a simple pan-fried wild mushroom dish pair perfectly. As for the sauce, a shallot reduction cuts through the richness of the meat with a pleasant acidity.
