skirt steak
Diaphragm muscle cut
Skirt steak is a long, flat cut of beef from the diaphragm muscles, prized for its rich, beefy flavor despite being relatively tough.
It benefits from marinating and quick, high-heat cooking, then slicing against the grain.
Skirt steak is traditional in fajitas and often used for carne asada: We grilled skirt steak for tacos.
