In Spanish slang, 'matambre' is a term mainly used in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. It's a culinary term referring to a specific cut of meat, a thin cut that lies between the skin and the ribs of the cow. It's also used to prepare a specific dish known as 'matambre relleno', a rolled, stuffed meat dish. The term 'matambre' is a combination of two Spanish words: 'matar' (to kill) and 'hambre' (hunger), implying it's a hunger-killing dish.
