Beef - Lesser known cuts

[oktx]

Chuck steaks are pretty common. Hanger steak is known as butchers steak. It’s good.

I was hoping it wouldn't get out about those chuck eye steaks, I prefer them over rib eye; and way cheaper too.

Shhhhhh

It is what the grocery business calls meat merchandising. I cut meat for 26 years and was a meat market mgr. for 20 years. For the meat industry to be more profitable, they break down and merchandise as many different muscles as they can for a higher retail price. I remember seeing a flat iron steak cooked on the food network at a restaurant in California almost 20 years ago. I cut some the next day and tried selling them for 2.99 lb. and could not give them away. High end restaurants make a lot of these cut popular before they are sold in your local meat market. I imagine most Teres Major muscles will end up pulled off of the clod at the packers and sold mostly to restaurants. There are only 2 small muscles per carcass.

monte carlo and flat iron are both great and flat iron is on the cheaper side

I am pretty much a "Beef. It's What's for Dinner" guy, and these posts are giving me some new cuts to try, thanks for posting.

Chuck eyes & delmonicos. Have made me. Almost give up rib eyes

We eat a lot of flank steak.
Typically sprinkled with Hudson Valley salt from NY and a coarse ground black pepper mix, then wrapped in saran and rested in the fridge over night.. bring to room temp before cooking on a pellet grill
Dipping each bite in Graziannos Chimichurri which i order from Miami.
Can order the salt from "the spice lab" yes, its that good. Its not sea salt, it is more of a flake.. from deep below seneca lake.

Love a flat iron steak with a good chimichurri sauce. Great eats and you can serve 4-6 ounces per person keeping it very affordable.

Those are called Flat Iron steaks on beef. The very best steak to come off a steer.

Flat iron steaks are a different cut from the teres major, although both come from the chuck or shoulder clod. Teres major is the more tender of the two.

I had a flat iron steak earlier this year, and it was delicious.

I love flat irons. Usually have to ask the butcher to cut them for me as he said they don't sell. Very tender steak and get them cheap.

I could just put 8 gallons of fuel in my truck to make it more affordable too, but it won't take me far.
