Definition: One of the flat steaks the Skirt Steak is tough but wonderfully delicious. If you live in the U.S. (or someplace that learned to butcher from Americans) then the Skirt Steak comes from the plate primal. If you live in the U.K. then it comes from the flank. Either way it has a lot of marbling and connective tissue. This makes it flavorful, but tough.
Skirt steak is perfect for grilling as long as you marinate it first, then grill it good and hot. Skirt steak is perfect for Fajitas.
Also Known As: Philadelphia Steak, Inside Skirt Steak, Outside Skirt Steak
