Both of those are delicious.
Hanger, hanging tender, onglet (in French).
This long, narrow muscle hangs off the kidney over the plate; hence
the name. It's also called butcher's steak because some butchers
apparently would keep it for themselves before it became popular.

Skirt.
This cut is also labeled as fajita meat in this country because of its
common use in Tex-Mex cooking. There is an inside skirt and an
outside skirt. The outside skirt is the diaphragm muscle.
