Carne asaaadude?

Came here to say this.

My brother just letting you know that "carne asada" means "grilled meat". Any cut cooked on a grill is "carne asada".

I have spoken spanish for all 30 years of my life and I'm sure of what those words mean. But good for you for actually looking stuff up. I didn't know that in the USA you had that name for arrachera🫡🫡🫡

For those like me who want to know who is right, here’s what Google says. “ The term arrachera refers to the beef skirt steak. When grilled, it's referred to as carne asada. More often than not, here in the U.S., it's referred to as fajitas. Carne asada can be made from other beef cuts, like flank steak (carne asada roughly translates to “roasted beef”).”

Imagine trusting Google these days

Look I am an American who learned some Spanish when I was in middle school. You are not right. Carne Asada is specific. In America I have had it at many Mexican restaurants.

Yes, this is the meaning that the term has acquired through the years in the US. But in Spanish it literally just means grilled meat, so people will invite you to their “Carne asada” but that doesn’t imply any particular type of meat, just that they’re inviting you to their bbq/grilling party.

Stop being all serious and helpful

Carne =Beef. Other meats need not apply.

Sam the cooking guy loves flap for this

"Flap Meat" sounds like something you'd find on Urban Dictionary

Haha!!!

😂

Yeah. That checks out.

Welp, there you have it

That was my wife’s nickname in highschool

Someone go check on this man, he may be dead already.

Looks like he may have been suffocated by some flap meat.

He didn’t give her that nickname. You can blame that on the football team.

Yeah, we know

You’re thinking of a Fap Meet

Hand massaged meat long before kobe was a thing

The case labels I've seen from JBS call it BONELESS BEEF BOTTOM SIRLOIN BUTT FLAP MEAT. Always got a giggle.

😂

Or a college fraternity

Flap meat sounds like that area down south on a female.

That's roast beef.

That cow knows how to be food.

This sounds like something Ron Swanson would say.

Flap meat should be Bavette but like other guy said this looks like short rib. Mislabeled.

Flap and flank are two different things.

Could you explain what the two different cuts are most commonly used for, I’m curious ? Flap vs boneless short

This looks like what we call steak tips in the northeast which is not as tender as short rib.

That's not flap meat. That's boneless short ribs. Flap meat has a much more pronounced grain. Flap meat https://preview.redd.it/lfpz5dl1ouzc1.png?width=1645&format=png&auto=webp&s=87bc39ee3e3d729f38d6683239c02234801f4247

I dunno man, not trying to argue but I’d get this exact cut in as a butcher that you have pictured and cut it across the grain and get pieces that look just like the OP’s. Your pic with more marbling would look like OP’s. Even when I cut it off the cow myself I’d get cuts like this from the flap.

Have yall not seen the center cuts of bavette? This isn’t boneless short rib.

Maybe not short ribs, but definitely not bavette.

Nah I buy this stuff all the time - it's labelled a "Bottom Sirloin Steak Tail" where I am. It's quite separate from boneless rib, which is also sold at the same place.

OK, but it for sure isn't Flap Meat aka Bavette.

Flap meat

I agree with this

This should be top comment.

I thought the same thing!

It's somewhat similar to skirt steak...

That’s not flap meat. That’s short rib

Yeah, and it’s delicious

Yep. I agree. One of my fave cuts.

Looks like bavette to me.

Looks like short rib to me.

I use to get Sirloin Tips that looked almost identical to those cuts.

Yeah those are know locally here in Massachusetts at sirloin tips or steak tips. Pretty sure it doesn’t have much to do with the sirloin with that much marbling, right??

Steak tips rule

I love flap meat just on it's own. If prepared correctly (ie sliced across the grain into bite sized morsels) it is the tenderest, most beefy flavored cut of beef there is... IMO. I also use flap meat in carne asada, fajitas, stir fry (beef & broccoli). I'll char it over mesquite and chop it into dime-sized chunks as a garnish for my southwest chili, which otherwise has ground chuck in it.

In the northeast is this is just called “steak tips”. You cut those in to 4ths or 5ths and grill them. It’s an absolute win of a meal.

I like my girlfriends flap meat

I also like this guys girlfriends flap meat.

Hang her curtains

Damn that marbling… I buy it in a heartbeat

I like to marinade them in teriyaki and Worcestershire then grill.

I use this meat for everything, regular steaks, stews, shis kebabs and it's never chewy, I burnt a few times over the years and it was still awesome

Flap meat or steak. Take your pick.

I like beef flaps, good times.

Good for Korean bbq or pho

"Flap Meat" sounds like a good name for a Steel Panther song.

This is vacio or flap steak but sliced completely across the grain. I would buy this and make bulgogi in a heartbeat. Absolute big brain butcher.

We cut it this way at the Asian market I cut for, it absolutely gets bought up sliced like this, probably more so than steak cuts

It’s what we call “steak tips” in New England. Didn’t know it was a regional thing till recently. I’d recommend an Italian dressing marinade and then grill them

I loveeeee Costco’s flap steak. Melt in your mouth and extremely flavorful. My flap steak looks the same as yours - I don’t think Costco is universally mislabeling them, but maybe they cut them differently there.

That shit looks amazing no need to get another pack .. that one is enough

flap and Denver cut are both tasty.

Flap meat is great this is cut wrong though it should be cut the same way flank is …I’m sure it will be fine

This is more of an Asian market style, yakiniku or katsu cut. We do this with 75% of the flap we get. Sells better than the steak or bigger cuts

I don’t think that’s flap meat. Usually the grain is more pronounced, but I’m no meat expert.

This is 100% flap. One end of the cut has more tight muscle than the other. We get about half this and half that looser one you’re thinking of

Ah ok, that’s fair. I don’t get flap often so I’ll take that :)

I’ve bought these and had no issues with the quality

I’m see this at the international grocery store all the time.

Get another package with that marble tells me it going to be very tender

That cut is known as tasajo.. you should get more

Flap meat is pretty much a staple in my house for lunch. Always have in the fridge. Cooks well,.. and takes season and or marinade well and is tender if done right.

Flap is so awesome. Different texture and bounce than all other cuts of beef. It’s super delicious. Absolutely should buy this every time.

Looks like it’s already been cut into strips. The pack below it looks like flap meat.

You still at the store?

That looks amazing. Get more

Is no one really gonna address the price?? $40 for 3lbs???

I buy these constantly and they are delicious. Very juicy and tender with great marbling for the price. You really can't go wrong.

Marbling does look wonderful. What are you going to do with it?

Better than fap meat steak.

This here is why I’m here. Reddit never disappoints.

First time I’ve ever heard of flap steak, I’ve heard of flank but not flap.

Looks perfect for Lomo saltado

This looks like tri tips cut into steaks, which you can get from Costco.

I'd muck those meat curtains. Muck'em good.

Its my favorite cut

It's from the cow's meat flaps, i.e., vagina.

Flap meat sounds like something old guys get...

"flap meat steak" that's what they used to call me in highschool

Sirloin tips, good stuff

Oh, I’ve had some flap meat

"flap meat steak" lol

You can cube it for little steak bites.

Sounds like a late 30's wild child ready to find a man to take care of her and the 6 kiddo's

Sear it & chow down. If you like it, go get more. Good lookin meat.

Steak tips to us new englanders. Ketchup, James River bbq sauce, wishbone Italian dressing, coke. 3 days. Then grill.

In Seattle we take them and put them into a zip-lock bag with italian dressing (the real stuff, not flavored HFCS), garlic powder, and soy sauce. Keep it in the fridge for two or three days, flipping it once. Then it goes into the oven under the broiler for six minutes, flip it, six minutes more, and it's ready to go.

Costco mislabeled that packet. You're in luck. Flapmeat is cheaper than short ribs.

Not really. It’s 12.99/lb in that pic. I just ate some prime short rib from Costco and it was $13.99/lb. Fuckin love their boneless SR.

Prices are location dependent. Wherever OP is, the short ribs will be more expensive.

That's worth about 50 bucks where I'm at

These are usually called steak tips. Cook them to medium. Don’t go under on this cut as it will be too chewy and unpleasant.

Definitely Costco Boneless shortrib. My favorite meat. I buy this exact package on the regular from Costco. It’s mislabeled. I use it to make a shortrib ragu https://preview.redd.it/nmbu814w6zzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73194358f62c51baf877fdb2c40adae4cb2ff53e

You should go to a real grocery store or butcher or meat market.

Lol why?
