Plankie steak is a popular South African cut of beef, typically taken from the ribeye or sirloin. The term “plankie” comes from the Afrikaans word for “plank,” referring to the steak’s flat and relatively thin shape, resembling a wooden plank.
This cut is known for being flavourful and tender, making it ideal for grilling or braai’s (barbecuing). Season with salt and pepper to let the natural beef flavour shine. Cook / Braai quickly over high heat, giving it a nice char on the outside while keeping it juicy inside.
A favourite grilling steak that’s lean enough and affordable enough to enjoy any night of the week.
