Favorite "non traditional" steak cut

Corv · September 2020

Tri-tip for me, but that said, I haven't tried flat-iron, flank or outside skirt. This thread is educational for me.

Honeymoon. Recommended by the fine folks at Fairway Beef in Worcester Massachusetts.

The “honeymoon roast,’’ a small, flat piece of beef, is also called the sirloin cap, and is the ideal centerpiece for a romantic dinner. It’s a specialty of Grill 23 & Bar’s executive chef Jay Murray, who makes it at home. “It can be sliced into small steaks and it’s great cut for two,’’ says Murray, who browns the steaks on one side, turns them, and finishes them in a 325 degree oven for about 20 minutes. At butcher shops, order the meat in advance because the cap isn’t typically removed from the sirloin before it is cut. Request a 28-ounce piece with the fat trimmed. Here the whole cap is slow roasted on a bed of caramelized onions and mushrooms, which produces a moist, rosy interior and provides the base for a rich gravy. Give your sweetie a chuckle on the definition of coulotte, the French term for the cut. Spelled culottes (plural), the word used to refer to men’s breeches, then to a long women’s skirt with a split, and now to women’s underwear.

It's hard to argue with that.

I love cooking a tri-tip, but it's probably a tie between hangar and flat iron. A good outside skirt for other uses. Damn, the sirloin cap is good too!

Basically give me all the lesser known cuts and I'd be just fine!
