So I decided to track down some oyster steaks,  Here

 

An oyster steak, also known as a spider steak, is a cut of beef from the cow's hip area, specifically from inside the hip pocket. It's a rare and prized steak due to its unique shape, which resembles an oyster shell, and its tender, flavorful nature. 
 
Here's a more detailed look at the oyster steak:
  • Origin and Name:
    The oyster steak gets its name from its distinctive shape, which resembles an oyster shell. It's also sometimes called a spider steak due to the appearance of the fat striations, which may resemble a spiderweb. 
     
  • Location:
    This steak is sourced from the hip area of the cow, specifically from the hip pocket, making it a relatively rare cut. 
     
  • Flavor and Texture:
    Oyster steaks are known for their tender and flavorful nature, with a good amount of marbling for a richer taste. 
     
  • Versatility:
    Oyster steaks are versatile and can be cooked in various ways, including grilling, pan-frying, or even slow-cooking. 
     
  • Other names:
    Depending on the region, oyster steaks may also be referred to as flat iron steak, butcher's cut, or spider steak.
