@@anthonypeart9841 Google search brother. Nevermind my minor in the subject... Myoglobin contains hemes, pigments responsible for the colour of red meat. The colour that meat takes is partly determined by the degree of oxidation of the myoglobin. In fresh meat the iron atom is in the ferrous (+2) oxidation state bound to an oxygen molecule (O2). Meat cooked well done is brown because the iron atom is now in the ferric (+3) oxidation state, having lost an electron. If meat has been exposed to nitrites, it will remain pink because the iron atom is bound to NO, nitric oxide (true of, e.g., corned beef or cured hams). Grilled meats can also take on a reddish pink "smoke ring" that comes from the heme center binding to carbon monoxide. Like hemoglobin, myoglobin is a cytoplasmic protein that binds oxygen on a heme group. That red color Anthony comes from the heme that is present in both. The usage on this video is refering to the meat's color and not the blood coming from it. Hence the correct term is myoglobin. You must have mistakenly thought that heme and hemoglobin are one in same. They are not.

I admit that the Chuckeye will sometimes be slightly chewy, but then take care to slice it as one would the flank steak and it'll be equally as tender and flavorful. My butcher says that it's his favorite steak to grill when he has friends over and to also use with skewers. AND if you like to slow cook via Sous-vide then you'll be in for a real treat as it will melt in your mouth like a tenderloin steak!

You don’t know much about steaks or cooking beef. My guess is you have no skills in the kitchen. Every unknowledgeable female picks tenderloin (soft, little fat) every unknowledgeable male picks ribeye (soft, fatty). Steak cuts outshine each other in recipes that favor their best aspects. The non-fat protein in skirt and flank steaks is a lot more flavorful than that of tenderloin or ribeyes. Fat does add a lot of single note flavor and that’s why folks like ribeyes - me included. I’ve had prime rib, ribeye, NY Strip, flank and skirt steak in the last 3 weeks. The latter two marinated overnight. All were great. Most flavorful - the skirt steak by a substantial margin. My favorite if I could only eat one steak the rest of my life? Prime NY strip - cut 2” thick and weighing about 20 Oz, medium rare. It’s got the most balanced “chew”, flavor and fat.

How does skirt steak measure up? ive eat them both but you gave me a new perspective

Eating flank steak for years. Great way to serve beef to a crowd. I always season before I BBQ, is there a reason to do it after?

As you mentioned easily the most underrated steak period. Normally cheap, alot of flavor, and takes a marinade well while being tender only as you clean all the silver skin off.

@@eljeffe767 It isnt regional. I have processed whole animals for 4 years both at a USDA processing facility and resturants. When you buy from a commercial distributor it is called sirloin flap or flap meat. Bavette is more of a chef term but translates to bib. Which that is exactly what it looks like even in this thumbnail. It is not a flank steak they are to different cuts from the same primal in the same general region. You can almost never get this steak in the grocery store. The only time they do have it it is sold with a stupid grocery store name or sold as a fake skirt steak.

Flank steak used to be much cheaper but now it's so close to Rib Eye pricing I will stick with the Rib Eye. Another thing, it kills me to see someone cook on a propane grill. Hardwood lump charcoal is the only way to go. I always find the time to cook it on coals sometimes just use straight Hickory wood. Yum yum buddy

I decided that though charcoal is undoubtedly the best, I get far more use out of my propane grill than I ever got out of my charcoal one. I'd say charcoal is 20% better but I use my propane grill 5x as much. I live in Chicago and I'll be grilling into November. And I can have my propane grill up to temperature and hot in the time it takes to pour the charcoal out of a chimney.

In Europe and the Uk we call this the Bavette steak. French for 'bib' because it looks like a bib (I guess). It's very flavourful, very intense beef flavour. I would not recommend frying the steak. You need to cook it low and slow if you don't want it to be tough. But cooked the right way it's sublime.

Just a small correction. What you are talking about is myoglobin not hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is in the blood ... myoglobin is in muskles. :-) But all over you're right .. flanksteak is awesome!

Makes for good fajitas or beef stroganoff, but for a plain eating steak, I'm sticking with ribeye.

I had a skirt steak once that was absolute perfection. It took beating the thing to death with a tenderizer and then brining in a meat tenderizer/spice mix for a day, then somehow it came out perfectly and with amazing flavor. I've never been able to reproduce it. Every one I get seems to be the wrong cut I guess because I've tried several times to no avail. I finally went back to New Yorks where I never seem to go wrong.

... good video .. I guess I buy striploin which is part of the T bone when it goes on special $10/lb and just freeze about $150. worth ...it still cooks up beautifully after freezing

But where you do buy the whole big meat like that?

I grew up on a cattle ranch in ND. We always butchered our own beef. We almost always used the flanks for hamburger till one time I decided to cook one up. I agree with you, that flank steak was as tasty and tender as a ribeye. Trouble is there are not many restaurants or stores that sell it. This may actually be a good thing. If it were to become popular then the price would go up! Better to leave it a secret.

I don't know what country he's in, but here in Arizona steak prices aren't that expensive. He must be looking up the most expensive grade possible.

I love Flank, Skirt and Hanger and the inside/outside variations. Simple seasoning, grilled quick, sliced against the grain and dipped in Chimichurri - heaven.

We have often chosen flank steak for our grill. It seems to better absorb and retain any sauces or spices applied before grilling than many other cuts. With ribeye, we use less flavoring in favor of enjoying the natural meat flavor.

I was a meat manager for years, and was never a fan of this cut. I can tell you it was not very popular, and most of the time we wound up throwing it in the ground Chuck bin, or lean ground beef bin. Unlike other cuts, if a flank steak doesn’t sell the day you put it out, it will turn a much darker color than other steaks, put out the same day, and no one will buy it. I honestly cannot remember anyone coming in, and asking for flank steak, but I had to keep some in the case.

You didn't look closely at the video or you would of recognized that he has a whole hanger steak, aka "butcher's steak" or "hanging tender", called an onglet or tab steak in France. Although called a skirt steak in England, it's not the same designation as our skirt in the U.S. Even in old days (before boxed primals and subprimals became popular)of 70s, The front and hind quarters were shipped mostly without the plate meat, so they weren't seen too much at the retail level. As to flank steak, like you said, I don't know any meatcutters that had too much use for them, ribeye was always the favorite among all of us, that or an occasional strip, or the top butt, close to the joint.

I think this is one of those cases where many countries use different names for different cuts. This looks like what we would call in the states as Bavette (sirloin flap). For example a rump roast in the US would be from the bottom round, whereas a rump roast in the UK would be our top sirloin.

where did he get $49 a pound for ribeye? its been around $17-$19 were i'm from.

I live in Washington State- I just looked at my premium grocery retailer " Haggen" add to check prices. Flank Steak is $10 per LB. Top Sirloin is $8 per LB. Ribeye is $17 per LB. Beef Sirloin is $4 per LB. Hamburger is $5 per LB. New York's are $21 per LB. Bone In Ribeye is $16 per LB. Sockeye Salmon is $16 per LB. Halibut is $13 per LB. These are all from top notch suppliers here locally in the Northwest. I'm sure Safeway or Walmart has some cheaper but you get what you pay for. Costco prices are about the same and also top notch stuff here. I always go in halves with my friend and we but a cow and split the cost. I also live close to a river full of salmon so that is a regular on my menu as well.

I found that ribeye steaks are most ideal for sharing, since a single steak can really weigh a person down, or be so fatty that it is rough eating all at once. Flank steak is a terrific steak that can be portioned better. Plus, it holds up better if some in your family need more “doneness” in their red meat, while it’s a waste to cook a ribeye past medium at the most.

Or you can make two meals out of it. My wife and I regularly do what you suggest though, because 14-16 oz. of ribeye just sits too heavy on my stomach these days. We just get an extra salad or veggie to go along with it, or an appetizer, and that's plenty for us.

I've found that a well marbled ribeye that has been cooked properly will still be good at medium-well. I prefer them medium instead of medium rare so the fat can render a little more. Raw fat is gross. Lean cuts are great at medium rare, or even rare sometimes.

Nice tip about cutting against the grain, actually it never came into my mind like that until you have displayed it like in this video and I'm not a cooking idiot haha, Thanks!

I freaking love napolean grills first off. Fantastic higher end non drop in/non-contracter oriented professional cooking system (you dont need a contractor to build you something to use it in), I purchased one. But flank steak can most def vary depending on the market for sure. Bad flank steak is BAAAAD and can be generally underwhelming if you dont get the right cut from the rignt market. No matter how its cooked. Its frankly a less forgiving/risky pick, but it can be a home run if you got a good source or are lucky.

Tons of of good woman on this planet that look like a flank steak.....2-3 hrs later they walk out of the bathroom and boom.....a ribeye, all jokes aside more folks need to try this cut.

This was beautiful! Thank you!

What city were you getting prices? Ribeyes are on sell for $8.99 here and $9.99 for Angus beef. I personally buy out the chuck eyes everytime. It's way better then the ribeye in my opinion. They're only $7.99 a pound
