Many French cuts of meat may have no exact US or UK equivalents, and Steak de Hampe, is one of those. French chefs will tell you that the hampe is a flavorful steak with a little more fat than a flank steak, the French onglet. Butchers consider it part of the US tri-tip and in the UK part of the flank. Steak or Bifteck de Hampe is a favorite cut for France’s great Steak Frites.

Hampe steaks will have been marinated in red wine for 24 hours before being lightly fried or grilled. This cut is never prepared well done; it will be tough and shriveled. If you only eat well-done steaks order an entrecote.
