 Question:
What is a 'skirt' steak? - Toni
Moore (1/14/01)
Answer:
Skirt 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's a long, flat piece of meat that's flavorful but rather tough. Properly
cooked, skirt steak can be quite tender and delicious. It can either be
quickly grilled, or stuffed, rolled and braised. Recently, skirt steak has
become quite fashionable because of the delicious Southwestern dish,
fajitas.
