Flap meat is a thin, fibrous and chewy cut that is marinated, cooked at high temperature to no more than rare and then cut thinly across the grain. [2] In many areas, flap steak is ground for hamburger or sausage meat, but in some parts of New England (US) it is cut into serving-sized pieces (or smaller) and called "steak tips".
Tri-tip is found in roasts or used for barbecue since it is common for it to be cooked over long periods of time. Flap portions are found in hamburger meat or can be made into stews or even fajitas since it is too tough to be used in steaks.
