I stopped at the grocery store tonight and was thinking about getting a steak for supper. I've noticed in the past that most of their steaks are cut pretty thin -- maybe 1/4 to 1/3 inch or so -- but tonight every steak they had in the meat section was cut thin.

What's the purpose of steaks that thin? Is there some kind of special dish I've never heard of that calls for really thin steaks? How would one cook such a thin steak?

Braised 7 steaks in gravy are damn good. That's about the only call for thin steaks I know of.

I know thin boneless pork chops are sometimes considered breakfast items. Might thing beef steaks be considered breakfast steaks?

Thin steaks means you can package what looks like a lot of meat in one container. It makes the consumer feel like they're getting a great deal.

What cut of meat are we talking here? Steak is a pretty broad term....

I roll them with spinach arugula parm and mozzarella and cook in the oven. My daughters favorite sinner

Thin steaks weigh less so they are cheaper. The hispanic population does lots of things with thinly sliced meat.

They tend to do it really well most of the time. Carne asada tacos can be really tasty.

There's been a lot of them lately at HEB. On the pkg it says, "ideal for beef Milanese."

My Mom used to buy thin T-bone steaks and broil them for just a few minutes on each side. I remember they were pretty good.
