popes eye

[DERRY]

Can anyone tell me what cut of beef is popes eye?

[slipnot]

After googling, I believe it's a rump steak, i.e. top of a hind quarter!

Part of the Rump.
The Butchers here (Scotland) usually sell the rump in three cuts according to quality/price.
Most expensive of the three is Popeseye (sometimes also called Heughbone or Frying steak). Next price down is most often called Round and then the final cut is usually referred to as Stewing steak.
How this translates to other places I am unsure.
