How to make California-Thai Flank Steak
Trivia Did you know the word ‘steak’ is believed to have come from an old Norse or Saxon word, “steik”? The word means “meat on a stick”. However, steak nowadays is a slice of meat cut for roasting, grilling or frying. There are sixteen different primary cuts of steak which range from Sirloin to Rib. The costliest steak in the world is the A5 kobe strip steak. A single steak can cost more than $700. The cows which are the source of this meat are bred solely for perfect marbling, that is, the way fat is placed around the muscle. This saturated fat is healthy and the steak is heavenly. The “wagyu” steak produced by these cows is the best steak in the world! |
