BBQ Flap Meat

[Mooseherder]

Made a rub for the Flap Meat and Cooked it like a Brisket.
It took about 1/3 the time as a Brisket.
Man it was so good.

Man, that looks tender!  My mouth is watering.  I bet it was hard waiting   .

What cut is "flap meat"? 

Now I know because I saw your explanation on the BBQ in January thread.  So, it is the tail on the tenderloin?

[Magicman]

I just Googled it.   ;D

You keep showing food like this and there's a very good chance to see me knocking on your door some evening.

And no I'm not saying when or you'd just move.  :D

[Mooseherder]

The door is always open. ;)
Flap Meat is the part of the Steer that used to be sold on the Porterhouse and T-Bone.  It was the tail section they'd fold towards the Tenderloin after they sliced the loin.  It runs from the Sirloin to the T-bone sections but closer to the hip portion of the belly.  Markets that sell Whole Loins may have them in your neighborhood or they may even have it in Box Beef cases like we get it.
This one was 2.5 lbs and I'm guessing it lost close to a pound of weight while cooking.

I took some pics before cooking.  This one is basically how it came from the store.
They usually have a little more fat on them which is what I wanted but they trimmed it up instead.
That is a number 16 tray. It is about 16 x 8 inches.   They'll shrink quite a bit but that is what makes them good.   I had already put the rub on the other side.  They look like a very large Skirt Steak about 3 inches thich in some areas.

Ya, that looks really good ;D

[Mooseherder]

We had to finish the leftovers tonight. ;D
Grilled some onions and peppers then warmed the meat with Provolone to keep it all together.
Wow is all I am gonna say.  Blue cheese dressing on the bun and catsup for the Fries!

A skosh of Melinda's Habernero Ketchup would go good with that too. Looks good and making me hungry. But nothing like that on the leftover's menu tonight.
Might have to go into mourning if the Pack can't catch the ball or catch up some other way.

But, the weather is nice with a tad bit of wind. No skeeters or bugs.

[WDH]

That looks so good that I can't stand it  .

[Magicman]

That ain't leftovers, that's a meal !!!   

[WildDog]

Wow those leftovers look good , I just read Jeffs post on chicken noodle soup and now this, I am getting hungry and we only just finished a big BBQ meal :(

[Chuck White]

Looks so good, makes you want to print it off the computer and eat it when it comes out of the printer.   ;D

[Den Socling]

Man is my mouth watering. First Jeff's chicken noodle and now this! I gotta get out of this board now!

[WDH]

This board should be Restricted  :D.

MH, I was in the green & white grocery store today and looked for flap meat.  As I suspected, there was nothing there with such a mundane marketing name. :D  Do they(you) sell this cut under another name, or was that it that was all whacked up into stew meat?

[Mooseherder]

Dan,  Not all stores carry it but you can ask them to bring it in for you.
It is in their order book under the name Flap Meat.  I'll get you the order code later today and edit this post.

[Mooseherder]

The Order code is 110941.
Tell them to order some for you and take the whole piece.
Let me know which Store you go to if they don't order it.

[DanG]

Thanks Glen.  I'll probably just ask about it, but not order it if they don't normally carry it.  This is one of the smaller of several stores in Tallahassee, so I might check some of the others. ;)
