This seems like an obvious answer: brisket.
What I find odd is that this style of cured meat is supposed to be from a lean cut such as eye of around. brisket is a very fatty cut.
So I’m surprised that brisket would be the cut of choice for this.

Liver maybe
It’s dried beef so top round, bottom round or eye roast is the normal cuts for it. I need to now hit up the farmers market and get some. Needs done sos in my life
At first I thought it was a vending machine…
Traditionally, it’s eye round
It’s probably eye round, but this is not just a cut of meat. It is a heavily spiced and dried beef called Basturma or Pastirma. You slice it thin like a charcuterie meat, or lightly cook it to top a piece of toast and cream cheese or something similar, or with eggs…etc. It is a very common Turkish food, often a breakfast thing.
If it was a brisket, the flat would work for this. The flat has a thick fat cap that can be trimmed away, but intramuscularly, it’s fairly lean. The flat, when corned, is typically called lean corned beef.
Well it looks like pastrami and I would say it’s a flat
