  1. the darker, longer strip with the obvious grain (the one you marked) looks like **harami**.
    The paler, rounder “petal” slices with fine grain and snowflake marbling look like **loin (rosu/sirloin)**.

    How to tell next time:

    * **Harami (skirt/diaphragm):** deeper red, coarse/long fibers, usually cut in strips; beefy flavor, a bit chewier.
    * **Loin:** lighter pink from intramuscular fat, fine/tight grain, more even marbling; tender.

    If they said “same but different day,” that’s… generous. They’re different muscles. Enjoy either way—quick hot sear; pull harami a touch later than loin.

  2. It says “ro-su”. What makes you think they are lying? Also, have you ever seen harami? This is not what it looks like.
