Saw this for the first time at Costco. Thoughts?

At first glance it looked like a big chunk but it's 2 pieces. I thought for a second it was a point but no.

I have always treated it like a skirt steak but that packaging is bad. It looks like beavers chewed it instead of a butcher cutting it.

It definitely looks like skirt. When I first saw it from a distance I got all excited because it looked like a point. Hopes dashed.

I like taking that and skirt camping. I freeze it in marinade then take it with me and cook it on some hot rocks or over the coals directly. It makes great tacos. There is nothing like taking a great piece of meat and throwing it on coals. Yeah, you get a bit of ash but man that tastes good.

Thanks for the input! I might have to give it a go.

Apprentice meat hacker... ?
I dodge stuff like that. Hell, I'm so tight, I look for skinless filet, so I don't have to pay for the skin on my salmon.

If for any reason you decide you don't like it, you can return it with Costco. ;)

Yes....looks like a hack job on a skirt steak! Marinate it, grill away over some mesquite and make some fantastic tacos!

At first, I thought it was very very very roughly ground beef. I bet it will be good with quick high heat.

Im thinking it maybe a hanger steak?

Marinate with pineapple and/or orange juice and seasonings for Fajita meat :)
That thing will be tough otherwise. It might also be wise to beat it with a meat hammer (the kind with "spikes") then marinate it for a few days.

This is how fajitas came to be with cuts of meat like that. Just grill to rare/med rare, slice against the grain, and enjoy in real tortillas with all the fajita taco toppings :)
