These humble cuts of beef won't cost you a bundle, but they offer big flavor and great texture.

Sirloin Flap Steak
These well-marbled strips of beef- the "tails" of porterhouses and T-bones-are increasingly sold on their own. They look a little raggedy but are very delicious.

Flatiron Steak
Wide, long, and flat (hence the name), the flatiron is the second-most tender cut in the animal (after the tenderloin), and it stays juicy and tender even when cooked to medium-well.

Hanger Steak
Hanger steak's alias, butcher's steak, is derived from the practice of butchers keeping it for themselves. Hanger's robust flavor makes up for its relative lack of tenderness.

Chuck Eye Steak
Chuck eye steak shares many characteristics with the rib eye, but for a much better price. It's well-marbled with fat, quite tender, and very tasty.

Flank Steak
With its beefy flavor and ease of preparation this long, flat cut from just below the short loin is a regular in Gourmet's kitchens.

Top Butt
Top butt has a great mix of texture and rich flavor. Another plus: A butcher can cut this boneless steak to any thickness.

Top Blade Steak
These tender steaks are a delicious bargain. Taken from below the shoulder of the steer, top blade steaks come from the same muscle as flatiron steaks, but are cut differently.

Skirt Steak
One of our favorites for its juiciness and beefy flavor, skirt steak can be either of two long, flat, well-marbled muscles (the diaphragm and the transverse abdominal muscle).

Tri-Tip Roast
This boneless triangular cut from the bottom sirloin boasts good flavor and tenderness. Steaks cut from the roast may be labeled "Newport steaks."
