Mystery Meat

[Brisket Syndicate]

I need help identifying this chunk of beef. The only thing the package said it's USDA Choice .it's about the size of a volleyball, and probably weighs between twelve to fifteen pounds. My BIL somehow ended up with it, but we have no idea what it is.

[RichieB]

my guess and only a guess is chuck roast. The size makes me question that. I'm no expert. I have a 5 pound in the freezer. 12 to 15, chuck might not exist. I'm sure the more knowledgeable wil chime in.

Looks like a roast out of the round.. their should be three roasts in there if you separate the muscle groups.. I make pastrami out of it..

[Spinaker]

Always a good cal!

Backroadmeats It happens to me every once in a while.

Sirloin tip

[Brisket Syndicate]

It is indeed a sirloin tip. I googled images of it, and most of the pics were identical. Thanks!

[Backroadmeats]

😁😁 if it was the sirloin ya should be able to see the loin and tenderloin and I don't see it.. oh well how bout big chunk of beef!!

[Backroadmeats]

Is that a bone in there on the third picture??

[Troutman]

Looks like part of the round. The bone is what’s throwing me off.

[Backroadmeats]

Yup me too.. it isn't round..

[Troutman]

You’re a butcher, what do you think Backroadmeats? Is it maybe part of the shoulder clod ??

[Backroadmeats]

Can't tell.. I need to see the bone.. even then if it is a retail cut I may not have a clue.. I cut steaks, roasts and make burger!!

[Murdy]

The meat certainly looks like round, but I can't explain the bone.

[Backroadmeats]

Yup.. he needs to cut the bone out so we can see it. if it was Chuck should look like a pork butt bone..

Someone is carving up Babe the Blue Ox!

[texastweeter]

Portion of a shoulder clod, I think.

[treesmacker]

I don't know, but I'll bet whatever you make from it will be good! let's see what it becomes.

[ComfortablyNumb]

Be careful what you ask for, because in the end it.....oh well, let's not go there!

[jecucolo]

You could take the photos to a local butcher or put it in an ice chest and ask him if you can bring it in for to look at. That’s what I’d do.

[HouseHomey]

Is it done yet?

[Oakgrovebacon]

I think it is the lower end of round.

[Brisket Syndicate]

It's boneless. Turned out to be a sirloin tip.

[Murdy]

what was the thing that looked like a bone? Big hunk of gristley fat?

[Brisket Syndicate]

Just fat and connective tissue.

Just love big hunks of beef. Put it on a rotisserie over smoking wood and slice thinly as it cooks.
