Recipe of the Day: Simple Broiled Flank Steak with Herb Oil 🥩 Flank steak is a relatively lean cut of meat but full of flavor. This preparation is low on the fussiness factor: Put your seasoned steak on a preheated broiler pan and cook, no flipping needed. Just be sure to cut the meat against the grain—across (not parallel with) the visible lines of muscle fibers—so the steak will be tender, not chewy.
