Outside Skirt Steak

Approximately 1-1.5 lbs.

Outside skirt steak is a flavorful and versatile cut of beef known for its robust beefy flavor and distinctive texture.

Outside skirt steak is long and flat, with a pronounced grain running along its length. It typically has a thickness ranging from about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Outside skirt steak has a coarse texture with a good amount of marbling throughout. While it is not as tender as some other cuts like filet mignon or ribeye, it is prized for its unique texture, which is both chewy and tender when cooked properly. The presence of marbling contributes to its juiciness and flavor.

Outside skirt steak is best cooked quickly over high heat to medium-rare or medium doneness. It can be grilled, pan-seared, broiled, or cooked sous vide. Due to its thickness and texture, it benefits from marinating to help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
