skirt steaks

Thin beef cuts

Skirt steaks are long, flat cuts of beef from the diaphragm muscles, prized for their rich, beefy flavor despite being relatively tough.

The coarse grain requires slicing against the fiber for tenderness.

Skirt steak is traditional in fajitas and often appears in Asian stir-fries: We marinated the skirt steaks before grilling.
