"This dish was inspired by years of catering parties! I was searching for a quick-cooking beefy cut that held up well, was tender and flavorful and was large enough to feed a crowd," said Chef Yankel Polak, head chef at ButcherBox, a Massachusetts-based meat and seafood delivery subscription service.

"The flank steak performs on all points. Because of its flat shape, it cooks in no time," he added. "I particularly love it grilled on charcoal, and I love serving it with a variety of chimichurri-style dipping sauces."
