The Bavette Steak is cut from the thin flank skirt which is trimmed of all fat and connective tissue. The meat grain is coarse but this is a tender cut which is best cooked very quickly on a searingly hot grill. It is best enjoyed served rare and as it’s quite a thin cut it doesn’t need as much resting.
The Parisian classic Steak Frites would traditionally have been served with Bavette steak.
