Today, I bought some flank steak to make a little jerky, I know that
this will date me, but the last time I made flank steak jerky was back
in the early 90's. Then, as I recall, I almost swallowed my tongue when
the store wanted $1.99 a pound. I can remember when it was either
tossed out, ground and "sneaked" into hamburger by a greedy butcher or
boiled up to make a meat broth.

Don't know about your part of the country, but in Texas, flank / skirt steak
went up in price when people went crazy over fajitas.

It is a poor piece of meat, but when tenderized and marinated with enough
good spice, the fajitas are great.
