Beef is butchered differently in France from the UK. Onglet and bavette are skirt and basse cote is chuck steak all of which the Brits would use for stewing or braising. The French, however, often cut the onglet and bavette thinly and flash fry it as steak. Other stewing cuts include: jarret=shin; paleron=blade; plat de cote= brisket on the bone. French friends say if you want a good steak go to a restaurant. Beef is best bought from a butcher not a supermarket.
