Flap steak, also known as 'Flap meat' ( [http://www.ams.usda.gov/LSG/stand/imps.htm IMPS] /NAMP 185A, UNECE 2203) and 'Ranchera', 'Falda interna', or 'Bife grande de vacío' in Spanish, comes from a flank cut of beef, and is generally a very thin steak. In French this region is sometimes called 'bavette', which means 'thin steak' (literally 'bib'), but is often applied to other flank steaks. Not surprisingly so, the flap steak is often confused with hanger steak (IMPS/NAMP 140, UNECE 2180) as they both are thin and come from similar parts of the cow. The item consists of the obliquus internus abdominis muscle from the bottom sirloin butt.
