I have never seen a flank steak that big, how thick is it?

Wow. That is a big flank steak. What are you thinking to do with it? That will definitely make a few meals. Sorry I'm no help.

Never seen a flanks that big!  Are u sure it's not a different cut that was entered as flank thus creating an incorrect label?

That looks more like a brisket and not a flank - especially at 12.3 lbs

It's about 4.25" at its thickest.

It could be miss labeled, looks more like a brisket flat, if so its nothing like flank steak.

4.25 thick? Holy chit. Got a feeling the label is way off. SGH will know how to tame the beast lol...

No fat cap, no big fat boogers on the sides. Had 4 or cases of these...doubt they were wrong labeled but...

This place has been getting some rather large chuck rolls. Seen one in the bin that was 32 pounds a week or so ago...

You sure there is not more than 1 in the package?

32 pounds? A clod maybe?

It's a clod or chuck roll unless they're laid on top of each other. Be tough to find a flank more than 4 or 5 lbs. ours are usually 2 to 3

I agree, Sir Steven! My personal experience is the 1.5 to 2 pounders are the most tender and tasty. In spite of tenderizing and slicing thinly and diagonally across the grain the larger ones are still tough - or at least not as good. 

BTW dude, I'm still using bamboo skewers from packages you sent me years ago! Thanks again!

Have you ever tried flap steak Ron? Same long fibres as skirt and flank but tender. Part of the sirloin.

Should have cut it open prior to asking. There was 7 slabs in the package. SPOG & a 600* Egg...mmmmm.....sure was tasty....
