Asked my butcher about flap steaks. He called a packer and said he could get them. Now Pork Butt Mike, my good buddy, gave me one in Ocala and it looked nothing like this. This looks like a cross between hanger and skirt. Beautiful looking steak but I have no idea.
Thanks

Steven,
Out here in Calif it is called "skirt steak".
Rich -
That is what I thought as well.

Rich,
It's way thicker than any skirt I have ever seen, even in Mexico or Texas. Same grain pattern.

Yeah, here in Georgia, too.

A few years ago Cargill introduced a line of cuts for the Latin market and called it the Rumba line.
I have one in my freezer now and the package says inside skirt steak. Yes it is thicker than the skirt I am use to and it does make great fajitas. Cook hot and fast like flank. -
Gotta agree with the rest Steve, it looks like a skirt steak to me. Maybe you need a bigger beer :P
-
Red? Skirt to me.

Pat,
I got about 40 pounds. The thickest piece was over two inches.

There is an easy solution to this question. Cook it up and see if it tastes like skirt steak or something else.Were you charged a skirt steak price or something higher?
-
Mike,
I am just about to throw one one. Never had skirt like this. Same butcher charges me 8.99 for untrimmed skirt.
I think I'll keep ordering flap at $4.00.

hey Steven...that looks like my flap/ugly steak. Salt/pepper, and cook it well done. Should be nice and tender. Let me know.
The filly -
Looks like Manatee backstrap.
-
It sure tastes like skirt. I'm gonna order another 100 lbs and buy another freezer.

that would be them. I won this meat with Max last year at Atlanta...throwdown. Remember???
We can also get this Kobe.. $19 lb. awesome....
good eats... -
Why not just invite our Mexican connection and his crew up for dinner and there will be no need for a freezer. He needs to bring the tequila.
-
Kim,
I saw you win the throwdown but I thought you did skirt. Really awesome steak! I didn't get to try either.

Richard,
Turns out it is flap. I have had tons of arrachera in Mexico and never seen it more than an inch thick. These things are amazing. Randy has been talking about them for a while. Kim did Max in the throwdown last year with one.

So did you find out what it is? -
Dinner :woohoo:
