Oops, got tangled up when getting ready to fry some shrimp and squid........... And the winner is (without the promised clue):

Winner, winner....chicken dinner!!!

Something that needs some SPOG, and some reverse searing?

It will get SPOG, then cook for 12 hours and finish with some onion and jalapeno. This is the basis of barbacoa at it's finest.

Chuck pectoral .

Cheeks are pec-like, but take more patience.

Badly cut chuck steak

You should have seen them before I trimmed them. I'm serious, they look weird.

flat iron steak, big end

I can sort of see veins like a flat iron has.

Lobster

You get a 9 for the chuckle.

Yay!! This is one of my favorite cut of meat, I've smoked and braised them. Yea its a very irregular and messy cut and you find bloody veins running through it. Really delicious after a long braising in red wine and you serve it over mashed potato

I got it right, Woot Woot! You will never get a more intimate look at Cheeks then the Skinless head of a freshly slaughtered steer. The USDA Inspector has, if i remember correctly, 4 pairs of Lymph Glands on the skull that need inspection. The head is set aside to be inspected last. The Cheeks twitch for quite a long time after removal of the head. Pretty Creepy, I had a few students Faint on my slaughter house tours.
Whole Beef Head Barbacoa, cooked underground, is amazingly delicious! Just don't watch while the head is cleaned of edible meat, IF you are Squimish. Some Scary looking stuff goes in the mix...JJ

I thought they looked close , but after second look I was thinking " nope "
I just bought 20 pounds of pecs . Awesome stuff .

Are you cooking like brisket, they are next door neighbors right?

From what I understand yes , the pectoral is on the back side of the brisket . Bought a couple weeks ago . I was looking for brisket to grind but they were out . So I bought these and ground 80 % of it . Did 2 cooks , one in the instant pot . The other SV then cast iron seared . I'm kicking myself for grinding . It was so good . I have some pics I should post it .
Also , I would almost bet , when you buy the small flats of brisket , that there is a chance it's chuck pectoral . Maybe sometimes anyway .
