pork flank steak
Explanation:
I think this may be the closest you can get in English. As so often with culinary terms, there may be a case for leaving the Spanish term and adding a translation in parentheses.

"La Matambre es un corte del vacuno típicamente argentino. Es la capa de carne magra que se saca de entre el cuero y el costillar de la vaca."

"Matambre is a the name of a very thin cut of beef in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, taken from between the skin and the ribs, a sort of flank steak."

agree  Jennifer Levey: 'matambre' - a mis-nomer if ever there was one. 'very thin cut' - so thin, in fact, that your 'hambre' won't remain 'matada' for more than five minutes...

  -> Thanks, Robin. I'll take your word for it :)

agree  Sergio Kot: I strongly support leaving the Spanish term and adding a translation/explanation ("Hunger Killer") in parentheses
