The Skirt Steak



What is a Skirt Steak?

Skirt steak is a long, flat cut of beef from the plate section, one of the most flavorful and fattier parts of the cow. A lot of skirt steak recipes call for marinating the meat before grilling it, and because of its looser structure, skirt steak will absorb the flavors of the marinade quite well. It is also used in fajitas and stir-fry. A 4-ounce serving of skirt steak has about 200 calories, 26 grams of protein, and 10 grams of fat. This cut is commonly used in Mexican dishes such as fajitas and tacos.
