Skirt Steak, Raw

Skirt Steak, Raw

EverydayRaw

Skirt steak is a flavorful, moderately marbled beef cut sourced from the diaphragm muscle of the cow, known for its long muscle fibers and distinct grain pattern. This lean yet tough cut is rich in protein and iron but requires marinating and high-heat grilling or pan-searing to tenderize, followed by slicing against the grain. Its robust texture and beefy intensity make it a staple for fajitas, stir-fries, and other quick-cooked dishes.
