The flap steak or flap meat is sometimes confused with hanger steak as they both are thin. The item consists of the obliquus internus abdominis muscle from the bottom sirloin butt. The cut is sometimes mistakenly sold as Skirt steak. This cut is very flavourful and finely textured, however it can be chewy if it is overcooked.
