What kind of meat is this? Is it tough, tender, fatty, veined...? Shabbosdig or more for a weekday dinner? Thank you!

Lean with no marbling, so can be dry.

I actually find it usually not so expensive in my local grocery stores but we find that the meat itself is tougher... even when cooked for a long time.

Thanks. I think I'll be cooking something else instead!

FWIW, anything in which the animal uses the muscles is generally tough. It can be delicious if it is cooked long and slow to let the collagen in the meat and the tough muscle fibers break down. Some of the most delicious dishes use tough cuts of meat.

Meat that comes from the parts of the animal that aren't used as much tend to be the tender cuts of meat which can be eaten with a quick sear like a ribeye.

I would only use this for stir fry and only when I velveted it first, which is a huge pain in the neck.

Any butcher would be able to explain where the cut came from and the best way to prepare. You don’t need a recipe from the butcher but just the optimum method e.g. saute, braise, roast etc.

This link explains various cuts in terms of where they come from in the cow.

Ask your butcher where the cut comes from. A good butcher would know that.

How can you be expected to know how to cook a cut of meat without knowing what it is since all recipes are based on specific cuts being used.
