Every Juicy Detail
Long, flat, and rich, skirt steak brings a bold, beefy flavor. Taken from the plate section of the cow, this cut is prized for its intense profile that steak lovers crave. While not the most tender, its loose, open grain makes it a star for a quick 30-minute marinade.
There are two types of skirt steak: the outside and the inside. The outside skirt, slightly thicker and more uniform, is the top choice for grilling or quick searing—and it’s the only one we offer. When cooked hot and fast on a scorching grill or in a cast iron skillet, the surface caramelizes beautifully, locking in juices and delivering a savory crust.
Cook it to medium-rare, slice against the grain, and enjoy tender bites packed with robust flavor. Whether in fajitas, stir-fries, or carne asada, skirt steak turns any meal into a celebration of beef.
