What is skirt steak?
If you are not familiar with skirt steak, now is the time to get to know it. An affordable cut of meat, the skirt comes from the plate section of the cow, along the front part of the belly, and is a muscle that goes around the diaphragm, hence the “skirt” name. It is a long, narrow muscle, and usually ranges from about a half an inch to three-quarters of an inch thick, making it a cut that is super fast to cook. It does best with a fast cook, so it is ideal for grilling, stovetop cooking, and stir-frying.
