What gets me even more is when a current episode on Food Network still touts flank steak or skirt steak as an affordable alternative. The people hosting the episode obviously have not actually shopped for flank or skirt steak in a long time, especially here in NYC (where they film). If you want to teach me how to make a cheap steak taste good, tell me what to do with top round london broil. No matter what I try (and I’ve tried lots of methods), it still tastes like I couldn’t afford flank (which, at over $10/lb more expensive, is true).
