About
Flank steak is a lean, flat beef cut that packs roughly 8.7 ounces into a standard cup.
Flank steak has a density of about 8.7 ounces per cup (1.05 g/mL), making it slightly denser than water. Sourced from the abdominal muscles of cattle, this cut consists mostly of compact muscle tissue with very little internal fat. Because lean muscle is denser than beef fat, flank steak takes up slightly less volume per pound than fattier cuts like ribeye. When sliced or diced, it packs closely together without leaving large air pockets.
From Wikipedia
Flank steak is a cut of steak taken from the abdominal muscles of the cow, located just behind the plate and in front of the rear quarter. It is long, flat, and has a significant grain that is typically sliced thin to minimize its chewiness.
