Flanken, while not the cheapest cut of meat, is always a safe bet for me, especially for a Yom Tov meal with so much going on. The stress of turning out a perfectly medium-rare piece of meat that needs to coordinate with all the other things in my oven to be ready at exactly the right time is something I don’t want to think about when I have a whole month of Yom Tov meals to plan and cook. Flanken never fails me. Never dry, always flavorful, never a gamble — there’s a reason I come back to it again and again. Cook in advance to make your own life easier and warm when you’re ready for it. You’re the boss of your own menu!   Check out our complete collection of Rosh Hashanah recipes for mains, sides, soups, desserts, and more inspiration for the holiday.
