Skirt steak, often overlooked compared to premium cuts, is an affordable and versatile option that excels in various dishes. Cut from the plate section of beef, its long and thin shape makes it ideal for recipes requiring slicing, such as salads, stir-fries, and sandwiches. Chef Michael Taus recommends using high heat for quick cooking, making marinades or sauces, like chimichurri, to enhance flavor. Its balance in nutrient-rich dishes, unlike pricier cuts, allows for rich taste without overpowering other ingredients in meals.
Skirt steak shines when sliced and used in dishes like salads, stir-fries, empanadas, fajitas, and even chili. It's a fantastic addition to hearty sandwiches or grain bowls.
You can certainly eat it on its own, but its thinness is why it works well in salads, fajitas, and sandwiches, because it will offer balanced bites with the other fillings.
