Skirt steak comes from the plate section of the cow, specifically from the diaphragm muscle. Skirt steak is known for its unique texture, which is both tender and fibrous. When cooked properly, skirt steak can be incredibly juicy and flavorful, making it a favorite among steak enthusiasts. Skirt steak has a robust beefy flavor with a good balance of lean meat and fat. The marbling throughout the meat adds richness and juiciness, while the natural beef flavor shines through.
Skirt steak is best cooked quickly over high heat to no more than medium-rare or medium doneness. It's perfect for grilling, broiling, or pan-searing. Skirt steak is often served thinly sliced against the grain to maximize tenderness. It pairs well with bold flavors and marinades, such as chimichurri, garlic, lime, and soy sauce. Skirt steak is commonly used in tacos, fajitas, stir-fries, salads, and other dishes where its robust flavor and unique texture can shine.
