      Flank, skirt, and hanger are three (technically 4 if you count inside and outside skirt) different cuts. Skirt comes from the short plate, flank comes from the flank, and hanger comes from the diaphragm between the rib and the loin.

      It is true that skirt and flank can be used almost entirely interchangeably, but they’re different.
