Skirt Steak

Skirt steak is a thin, intensely flavorful cut known for its bold beef taste and loose grain. Cut from the plate section, this steak is a favorite for high-heat cooking and is the go-to cut for dishes like fajitas, tacos, and steak sandwiches.

What skirt steak lacks in thickness, it makes up for in flavor. When cooked quickly over high heat and sliced thin against the grain, it delivers a juicy, tender bite with deep, savory character. A quick marinade enhances its natural richness, but even simple seasoning lets this cut shine.

Why you’ll love it:

• Ideal for marinades and high-heat grilling
