Explanation:
could this be a typo? It could be "lo scalfo", in which case these terms could be right

Example sentence(s):
  • scalfo: taglio di terza categoria. Adatto per spezzatini, o carne trita
  • Though often grilled, beef flank can be tough when prepared this way, which is why it is usually marinated first. Beef flank is much better suited for braising or for making ground beef.
