Skirt steak

Cut no. 20 · American

Skirt steak is the diaphragm: the outside skirt, the muscular part attached to the ribs, and the thinner inside skirt. It is a long strip with a pronounced grain and lots of marbling. It wants very hot embers, a rare-to-medium-rare finish and thin slices across the grain.
