Queue the cage match about what constitutes bolognese 🤣 your ingredients are pretty close to the officially sanctioned version!
Mine follows Marcella Hazan's famous version pretty close, I do use a add my own homemade marinara in the end instead of chopped tomatoes, and probably a little bit more thereof, but once it has slowly simmered for at least 3 hours, it is not as 'saucy' as you might imagine. I probably serve the pasta with a bit more of the bolognese sauce than is traditional. I like to toss a little bit with the pasta and some of the starchy water it cooked in, then once that is served individually into bowls, I pile on some more of the very solid sauce on top and let the diners apply their own freshly grated parmigiano reggiano on top of that, which I recommend in copious amounts. Traditionally the focus is much more noodle-centric than the way I serve, so I won't really stake any claims to 'authenticity.' :cool:

Hazan's recipe can be found here:

This was sold to me as flank steak but I aren't think that.
Any guesses? To me it seems more like picanha without the fat cap. The cut is triangular and approx 25cm long.

Here's the second one. It's just too thick and round to be a flank steak. Grain structure is close though.

The pictures where you've cut with the grain don't do anything for my brain, I've never cut one that way... Otherwise it looks like it could be a small flank to me.

I only cut it with the grain once to get it in to two smaller pieces, in order to make it easier to cut against the grain.
 
can you please come to my place and do the same
We're in hard lockdown, so sadly I can't much as I'd LOVE to, ya know?

btw where are you keeping the non bottled ones?
Lard and ghee and so on are in jars in a different cupboard (more easily accessible, i.e. not over the cooktop).

Awesome. Condiment King. Need more hot sauce!
Several in the fridge/a different cupboard 🙃
