Anyone know what exactly "Beef Flap" is?

Question

My friend is cooking her family dinner and insists it's called "Beef Flap". I cooked in restaurants for years and never heared of it.

Answer 1

"Flap meat" or "Skirt Steak" are synonymous with each other: There's a good reason that they renamed that.....flap meat is actually the diaphragm of the cow, a large muscle that exercises the lungs to draw air in and out......But, I don't think that Diaphragm Fajitas sound too appetizing......But the meat correctly marinated and grilled is delicious.....and hey, you've had worse things in your system........Enjoy!!!

Answer 2

Flap steak, also known as 'Flap meat' (IMPS/NAMP 185A, UNECE 2203) and 'Ranchera', 'Falda interna', or 'Bife grande de vacío' in Spanish, comes from a flank cut of beef, and is generally a very thin steak. In French this region is sometimes called 'bavette', which means 'thin steak' (literally 'bib'), but is often applied to other flank steaks. Not surprisingly so, the flap steak is often confused with hanger steak (IMPS/NAMP 140, UNECE 2180) as they both are thin and come from similar parts of the cow. The item consists of the obliquus internus abdominis muscle from the bottom sirloin butt.
