What Cut of Beef Is This?

Hey guys, haven’t posted in quite some time but need a little help. I have a friend that works for a food supply company so he gets to take home some random pieces of meat. He gave me this 18# piece of beef because he wasn’t sure what it was. At first I thought it might be a brisket by the shape but after thawing and opening there are 4 different cuts of beef. They kind of look like big skirt steaks. What’s is your thoughts? I’m thinking of just grinding it all up for burgers. The butchering is not very good so not sure if I can even save them if they are skirt steaks. As a thanks I’ll add some pics of some of my previous cooks. Thanks for the help!

Looks like a sirloin flap to FaceDance.  And an underrated cut of beef in his opinion.

I'm going to say skirt steak

Skirt or flank.  I don't think you will go wrong by grinding it, but hot and fast would be good too if you clean it up a bit.

IMO, skirt and I agree that the butcher isn't very good. I'd try to clean them up and see if they can be salvaged, I mean if the plan is to grind them anyway, you have nothing to lose.

I'm thinking skirt, also. Your end result looks fantastic, no matter what cut those are!

Whatever it is you certainly did it justice
