Description
For flavor-per-square inch, you cannot beat skirt steak. Sourced from the belly of our grass-fed, grain-finished Black Angus steer, it’s something of a diamond — or maybe ruby — in the rough: long, thin, rippled with fibers that will fight you every single chew if you treat them wrong. But the intense beef flavor… Our skirt steak, available in two-piece 1½-pound packs, is worth the effort. Part of it is how our Black Angus Marble & Grain cows are raised: in fresh air and on grass, with supplemental grain before harvest, by our co-op of small American ranches. The other part is the unparalleled umami embedded in the skirt. Quickly cooked and correctly sliced, this tough cut becomes the tender star of a Kosher skirt steak salad. It also takes very well to tenderizing marinades — citrus juices, chiles and honey create an electric skirt steak marinade — and smoky dry rubs, making it a natural in Latin-American dishes and Tex-Mex reci
About This Cut
What Cut of Beef Is the Skirt Steak? Part of the plate primal on the underside of the cow, the skirt contains the diaphragm muscles beneath the animal’s ribs. The nonstop work of those muscles means the flavorful skirt is not known for tenderness. But it can be. The key is in the slicing almost as much as the cooking. Skirt requires fast, high heat, so grill or broil it quickly on each side. By the time the exterior browns, the interior will be medium-rare, and you don’t want to cook it beyond that. Tilt your knife at a 45-degree angle and slice down against the grain. Imagine the grain like lines of latitude or longitude running through the steak. Cutting across them, not with them, ensures each bite will be tender and delicious.
