Veal flank for rolling
Flat piece from the beef breast suitable for opening, stuffing and rolling.
What it offers and why to use it
Ask for it to be opened like a book without tearing. Roll with the filling and tie with kitchen string; cook gently until easily sliced.
Meaty flavour; texture depends on the cut and cooking time.
From shopping to cooking
Choose
Ask for the exact cut prepared as the recipe specifies. Check freshness, use-by date and absence of added marinade.
Store
Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C, separate from ready-to-eat food, and follow the use-by date. Freeze before that date if not cooking it.
Prepare
Stuffed rolls, braises and stews.
How to make the most of it
Good pairings
Onion, garlic, herbs, potatoes and vegetables.
How to substitute it
A different cut can require different timing and contain more or less fat; adjust doneness rather than swapping blindly.
