Skirt steak is a long, flat cut of beef taken from the diaphragm muscles of the cow, specifically from the plate section. Known for its rich flavor and relatively loose texture, skirt steak is often favored for its ability to absorb marinades, making it ideal for grilling or stir-frying. It is typically characterized by a pronounced grain, which can be seen in the meat.
This cut is best cooked quickly over high heat, often served medium-rare to maintain its tenderness. Skirt steak is commonly used in dishes like fajitas, carne asada, and sandwiches, and is appreciated for its bold flavor and satisfying chew. Its affordability and versatility make it a favorite among home cooks and chefs alike.
