In Argentina, this cut of beef is called an Entraña, here it’s known as ‘butchers or hanger steak’ and is called this because it was most often not sold to the public because the butcher wanted to keep it all to themselves. Why? Because it is an exceptionally tasty cut of meat, with full intense flavour.For those who enjoy a steak every now and then, put Thursday nights at @jimmyrumdistillery on your menu because it’s Not Your Ordinary Steak Night. For $28.50, you can sink your teeth into a delicious Argentinian style Entraña. For the ones that know, they know and fast becoming a weekly pit stop.#steaknight #jimmyrum #lovethepen
