Skirt Steak

Skirt steak is a rich, flavorful cut that comes from the plate, located on the belly of the cow. This cut is known for its long and thin shape with immensely rich flavor. It is laced with plenty of marbling to add wonderful flavor to any dish. In our meat case at the store you will see this cut rolled up, weighing anywhere from 1 to 1.5 pounds. Great for marinating and serving with any salads, vegetables, potatoes or grains. Also popular in Mexican cuisine for tacos or for using in fajitas! Always best grilled or pan seared quickly on high heat.

Skirt Steak, Flank Steak, Hanger Steak – What’s The Difference?

Time for a butcher’s lesson! Skirt Steak is often confused with Flank Steak and Hanger Steak. So, here are the major differences to help you know what differentiates the 3 cuts. Firstly, you can immediately tell the difference between this cut and flank steak when looking at their fat content. Despite both being flat, flank is a very lean cut. Hanger though, like skirt, is also a well marbled cut. To differentiate these two, remember that skirt is as flat as it gets, while hanger has a rounder shape.
