It\u2019s bold, versatile, and easy-to-prepare and reveled for its robust, beefy flavor. So, what exactly is a skirt steak and how do you prepare it?<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pGTI2hYk2l4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a skirt steak?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Skirt-Steaks-00000018462?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">skirt steak<\/a> is a unique steak cut bursting with flavor. The rich, bold taste makes it a perfect choice for recipes, including fajitas, tacos, steak salads, and stir-fry. This beef cut is less tender than other popular steaks but makes up for it with big flavor. To ensure maximum tenderness, the skirt steak has unique preparation and is best with tenderizing marinades or a dry rub.<\/p>\n<div class=\"prod-block\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Cutting a skirt steak<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The butcher trims the skirt steak from the short plate of the beef plate primal cut, located just below the ribs, between the brisket and the flank. This long, flat cut is the muscles from the diaphragm, attached by a membrane just below the ribs on the underside of the short plate. The location of this cut requires expert butcher knife work to cleanly remove a perfectly trimmed skirt steak.<\/p>\n<p>There are two types of skirt steak cuts: outside and inside. The outside skirt is attached to the exterior of the chest wall running diagonally from the 6<sup>th<\/sup> to the 12<sup>th<\/sup> rib. The inside cut rests further back on the animal across the lower part of the ribs. We sell the outside skirt steak cut for its flavor, thickness, and greater uniformity.<\/p>\n<p>Our master butchers hand-select the best cuts known for uniform shape and thickness, then wet age the beef for 28 days for maximum tenderness. Our skirt steaks are expertly trimmed resulting in a lean, perfectly portioned 14-ounce skirt steak.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-the-butcher-cuts-a-skirt-steak.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Butcher\u2019s Guide: What is a Skirt Steak?&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to cook a skirt steak<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The skirt steak\u2019s robust flavor makes it an ideal choice for recipes, including fajitas, tacos, salads, stir-fry, and more.

It\u2019s a thin steak, so it will cook quickly and evenly. Grill or broil a skirt steak over very heat for just 2 or 3 minutes per side. As a general rule, once both sides are browned, the interior is likely cooked to medium-rare.

This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier, more tender steak bite.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to slice a skirt steak<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Slicing a skirt steak correctly is the secret to a tender and juicy steak.
