Accordion cut

An accordion cut is a technique in butchery, similar to butterflying, in which a thick piece of meat is extended into a thin one with a larger surface area. A series of parallel cuts are made from alternating sides of a roast almost all the way through, creating "hinges" which allow the meat to unfold into a long, flat, piece.

This technique is often used in conjunction with pounding with a meat mallet, to further thin and even out the cut.
