Never heard of "BEEF FLANKIN" before.
Looks awesome, though I assume I got ripped off (?).
Gonna cook em like any other steak I make:
– salt, pepper, Italian medley on both sides
– 2 min per-side sear on a hot hot cast iron skillet
– then into the oven for a couple mins at 425, to internal temp 130°-135°
They're a bit small but willing to let them get closer to medium than medium rare (what our kids prefer)
Served with garlic bread, and stir fried chicken with vegetables

Never heard of that either. Maybe it came from the cow that invented electricity?
Theyre short ribs, google korean style short ribs for some recipe ideas. Aka kalbi. You can just marinate and sear, no need for oven, theyre usually pretty thin sliced.
Look up country style ribs and cook em like that. When I was working in a shop we cut up bottom round, top round, and sometimes chuck into country style ribs. If you cook that like a normal steak it would probably be tough. Flaken is a style of beef rib like what you see in Korean BBQ so yeah they mislabeled or are ripping people off in my opinion as a meat cutter for 5 years. It also could be Denver steaks but I think those can be tough also. If you’re not sure ask next time I never had a problem helping people with cuts in my store.
Edit I would definitely show the store the photos or take them back and get a refund. And not to be rude or anything like that we always wanted to know if we messed up like this. They should too if they are honest
Might be wrong but those look exactly like tri tip steaks to me
I believe these are German style boneless beef short ribs. My grandmother used to pickle and braise these
Looks like Tri Tip. Cook them like a steak.
Looks like Denver steaks
Denver steaks?
Seems like they were going for “flanken” though that’s usually reserved for bone in flanken ribs, and these look to be Denver/zabuton/chuck flat/chuck flap steaks.
Looks like boneless short ribs to me
Okay here’s a few pics of the results in case anyone wants to see em. Cooked one of the two packs.
I only got to enjoy a few bites, our 3yr old twins gobbled these down.

LoLoL this is an old term, not a new one.Typically used by the old Jewish population. I can still hear my grandmother saying she’s cooking Flankin for dinner. Although they didn’t look like this piece of meat. They short ribs cut more like the what is now known as the korean style of cut. It was a cut that had to be cooked for a long time to be tender, but it had a lot of flavor. Of course, in my childhood meat still had much more flavor then most easily available nowadays. I know there are butchers here. I’d be curious what they use that word for.
Definitely Denver steaks/boneless chuck short ribs
It’s a Jewish originated cut. They’re from the rib. It’s not a scam or a ripoff. It’s a great cut. Koreans love that cut though it usually comes with three rib bones cut across.
