Question:

What is a ‘skirt’ steak? – Toni Moore (1/14/01)

 

Answer:

Skirt SteakSkirt Steak is a boneless cut of beef from the lower part of the brisket.  Cut from the beef flank, the skirt steak is the diaphragm muscle (which lies between the abdomen and chest cavity).

It is a long, flat piece of meat that is flavorful but rather tough.  Properly cooked, skirt steak can be quite tender and delicious.  It can either be quickly grilled, stuffed, or rolled and braised.  Recently, this steak has become quite fashionable because of the delicious Southwestern dish called fajitas.
