Sounds so dirty, but tastes so good...

Been slacking off during the Corona lockdown. Pulled a 20oz. piece of flap from the deep freeze. Some Wyld Seasonings Timberine Rub and on the Big Joe.

Forgot to snap a pic, but in the mean time, some brussels, asparagus, mushrooms & onion.

Love me some flap meat. I recently picked up 30lbs of hanger steak from RD. Took me forever to trim it up, but man was it worth it. Its like a cross between filet mignon, and boneless short rib.



Tenderness of Filet mignon, and beefy flavor of short rib.

Yep, Hanger is a PITA to trim, but oh so good. Someone told me about flap meat a few years ago. Finally found it at RD a few months ago. Much easier to trim. Not sure which one I like better.

Flap is easy, but hanger has the tenderness, and beefy flavor. That said, i would prefer flap over flank and flat iron.


I will thaw a trimmed Hanger i froze last month and make a post soon. Any suggestions on how to prepare it? My last approach was chimichurri , but im looking for other ideas.

That's the same thing I've always done with hangers. Chimichurri.

Hell yeah Andy!


Flap is one of the best beef cuts ever hands down.

This is new to me! What cut does flap meat come from? It looks delicious that’s for sure.

What prices are you boys seeing on Flap and Hanger at RD? No RD locally for me. So the next time I go to Kansas City, I plan on hitting the RD for freezer stocking.



Thanks,

I believe it's part of the bottom sirloin. The skirt is attached below it.

Hanger is more expensive than flap, I think it was 5.79 when I was buying the flap. Flap was under $4. Both need to be trimmed, so the price per lb goes up some once you trim them.

I use flap meat almost exclusively for fajitas for the past 8 years or so

You crushed that Andy! For thin cuts, flap is my favorite my far.

What did you do to the veggies aside from the obvious?

Threw in a bowl with a little bit of olive oil & Salt Lick Garlic Rub. Tossed to mix it up, then fried in some bacon grease.

I love Chimichurri, makes everything taste better. I used to date and Argentinian girl, who always made it. One night she got mad and threw a brick at me from the top of the stairs, nailed me in the back. That's another story.

Thanks. It was delicious last night although I couldn't find any baby cabbages and subbed baby carrots.:thumb:

Tonight we find out how well Italian salad dressing works instead of olive oil.:wink:
