Flank Steak

I recently visited a fun little Cuban bistro in Denver called Mojitos (6th & Downing, Denver Colorado). Of course, knowing Max was waiting at home for his share, I intentionally ordered something non-vegetarian: a delicious flank steak. It was simply wonderful as were the yuca and plantain side dishes.

However, the flank steak was not sliced by the kitchen. It's not an issue to me but Max was appalled. He insists that flank steak is always cut against the grain to make it more tender and the kitchen usually does it to ensure the proper cut. I guess his internship at the CIA paid off but it does make cooking for him a pain.
