Let's play name that cut (Finger Steaks)

[petehalsted]

Picked these up on a whim while digging through the freezer bargain bin at Town and Country. But I am not sure what cut they come from, Google is no help as all it wants to do is show me deep fried steak fingers.

I tried google and came up with the same thing. I will say the marbling looks nice.

Looks a heck of a lot like blade meat steaks.

Only other thing I could find was Rib Fingers, which is the meat between the rib bones, but these are way too big for that unless they came from a Mastodon.

I have a go to recipe for tough beef that involves a few hours and a mushroom/onion gravy. But with all that marbling, like you, I am thinking these deserve a better fate than a gravy bath.

I agree, they look like thin blade steaks.

You might have nailed it, I found a pic of a pack of Top Blade steaks and noticed some of them have that piece of cartilage or whatever it is in the center that almost looks like a flanken cut rib.

Restaurants around here sell it as Flatiron steak.

Either way, I admire you folks down south. Meat prices are so cheap - I would be paying $20 just for that one blister pack.

I use to see them advertised as patio steaks, they can be tougher than leather lol
