How thin were you able to pound out the flank?

Quite thin, and the pieces I didn't pound thin enough, it wasn't that I couldn't... I just didn't have enough experience rolling them out to realize that I should go farther. 

The ones I went thin enough on were very thin and pliable. The ones I didn't were a little stiffer and harder to roll without getting REALLY thick as the layers overlapped. 

I'd say the "feel" for the proper thinness is that you could fold the slice and it would almost fold flat at the seam, as opposed to being stiff enough that it had a noticeable radius at that point when you fold it. 

BTW I used parchment paper rather than plastic wrap above/below the meat. I thought it would be better at avoiding tearing. It worked out well--I went through the entire flank steak with no tears whatsoever.

Yep, I use parchment too. I've never been able to get flank steak to go thin. Maybe I just quit too soon.

I'm not a big Anchovy guy either.

Picked herring and other fish is fine

I do prefer my bait fish gutted

but I will indulge if the opportunity is right

Think of this dish as Alfredo for anchovy lovers. There's lots of unsalted butter, salty anchovies in place of Alfredo's Parmesan cheese, and starchy cooking water cooked into a creamy glaze, perfect for coating long strands of al dente pasta.

The cooking process itself is a breeze. Melt butter, dissolve anchovies in it, then cook pasta a little over halfway in a small amount of water to get that extra starchy good stuff. Build an emulsion with pasta cooking water and the anchovy-butter, then finish cooking the pasta in the sauce. To ensure that the sauce holds the perfect creamy emulsion, I save a couple tablespoons of butter to add off-heat at the very end of the cooking process, followed by the lemon zest and juice. The rich, savory sauce glazes each strand of pasta for a simple, delicious weeknight meal

I wanted to put this here.

We took a cooking class while in Korea that was really phenomenal. The proprietor of the establishment took us through the Guangdong Market to get the material for cooking, and I felt like I was in a travel documentary. If you ever find yourself in South Korea, and are interested in a cooking class, book a cooking class with OME Cooking Lab.

The only camel I'd ever consider putting in my mouth has no filter and burns on one end. And even after consideration, I still probably wouldn't.
