FAQ about Beef flank (Ireland) | 1000 g

How to properly cook an Irish beef bavette steak?

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.

Why should you cut flank steak against the grain?

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.

What are the characteristics of Irish beef?

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.

Should you marinate flank steak before cooking?

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.

What is the ideal resting time after cooking?

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.

What sides should I serve with this skirt steak?

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.
