Open in Pepper →Skirt Steak Cooks Fast And Slices Thin
Skirt steak is the cut to keep in the freezer when you need dinner in a hurry. It takes a marinade in an hour, cooks in a few minutes a side, and feeds a table once you slice it thin against the grain.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on nights when the grill or griddle is already hot and nobody wants to wait, or when a pound of steak has to stretch into tacos for four.
Every recipe here leans on that quick sear — Skirt Steak Tacos, Skirt Steak with Avocado Chimichurri, Blackstone Chicken & Skirt Steak Fajitas, Citrus Marinade Skirt Steak, Mongolian Skirt Steak Noodles, and a Sliced Marinated Skirt Steak Sandwich.
Quick Tips
- 1
Slice against the grain
Find the direction the muscle fibers run and cut across them at an angle, in strips about 1/4 inch thick. Cut with the grain and even a good steak chews tough.
- 2
Marinate at least an hour
Lime juice, Worcestershire, and garlic do their work in 60 minutes; 4 to 8 hours is better. Don't push citrus marinades past 12 hours or the meat turns mushy.
- 3
Get the pan screaming hot
Heat cast iron or a griddle 5 minutes until it just smokes, then cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Skirt is thin, so a hot fast sear beats a slow one.
- 4
Rest before you cut
Let the steak sit on a board 5 to 10 minutes after it comes off the heat so the juices stay in the meat instead of on your cutting board.
