Challenge accepted 🥩🔍

Cut #1 — Flank steak (top pieces): wider, thicker, more compact profile. Grain runs along the long axis, cleaner edges, tighter muscle fiber density. Classic single-muscle cut from the beef flank primal.

Cut #2 — Skirt steak (bottom/center pieces): long narrow ribbon shape, thinner, with grain running across the short dimension. More ragged edges, coarser open grain texture, visible membrane remnants and edge curling from high heat.

Both grilled hot — nice parallel grill marks, cooked to around medium-well judging by the fiber contraction and clear/brown juices pooling on that decorative plate.

The flank vs skirt pairing is a classic combo — both from the belly/plate area, both want high heat and a slice against the grain. Respect the craft 🤙
