My local butcher had a Facebook contest

Well I didn't win, but thought it was kind of fun.

Can you identify this steak by its actual muscle name, and not steak cut. The answer is not chuck, flank or any of those, but the actual muscle name.

[Keymaster]

Rectus abdominus

[Rummm]

I just learned how to cut it, not the veterinarian names

[pz]

Transverse abdominis, or maybe abdominal oblique 

(I really don't know much about beef muscles)

[Rummm]

Infraspinastus muscle

[smoker pete]

Rectus abdominus

Can't find my Gray's Anatomy , bovine edition

[Rummm]

Infraspinastus muscle

aka boneless chuck top blade aka flat iron steak

Hmmm...so - when my wife calls me a "gluteus maximus".....she is not saying that I have a big brain?

Here is what my butcher said.

The longissimus dorsi, or spinalis dorsi steak. It is the cap off the rib eye. Not too many butcher shops will peel this off, as it is the BEST part of the Rib Eye. But if your buying the whole rib its a great treat!

And now we know.  I was going to guess sphincter.

That would be one big sphincter......
