I am sure one of you have seen these before. How do you cook them?

I use this for Italian Pit Beef and Philly Cheese steak sandwiches. I season it and smoke it to about 145F. Then I slice it thin and dunk the slices in au jus and make Italian Pit beef sandwiches with giardiniera or throw the slices on a flat top for a minute for Philly cheese steak sandwiches. Good for a large crowd.
 
I corned one a few months back, it made an excellent corn beef.
 
It is a sirloin tip roast. When we bought them from our boxed beef supplier, the came in a cryovac like that and were labeled as beef knuckle. Cook it as an oven roasted, to your desired doneness, but it is extremely lean, so don't overcook it.
 
You can break those beef knuckles down into smaller cuts to get some nice sirloin tip roasts, ST steaks and some nice stew meat for braising or chili. Way too lean to grind but ST roasts slow smoked and seared med rare and shaved or thin sliced, melted cheddar and piled on a Kaiser is about as good as it gets.
