First Skirt Steak

[sandyut]

I bought a mixed steak box a few months back. There was a skirt steak in there, I had never made or eaten one.

I made it last night: SV 139 with SPOG for 3.5 hours then seared in a pan. It was one of the most tender steaks ive had in a very long time. It was well marbled and so good. No pics as I wasn't sure how it was all gonna play out.

Are all skirt steaks well marbled and super tender?

Properly cooked and cross-grained skirt steak is a wonderful cut as you have noticed, we eat it often! Welcome to a new world of tastiness!

Glad it went well but one of the few things I have never fooled with myself. That's another thing I love about this site is it makes me want to try more things! I will definitely have too now.

No. I've had great ones and some that are like leather when cooked the same exact way,granted I've never cooked anything SV.

There are 2 inside skirt steaks and 2 outside skirt steaks per cow. The inside skirts tend to be tougher. Outside skirts are much more tender but can be expensive and hard to find. The most important variable is probably the specific cow they came from (genetics, how it was raised and fattened out, processing and hanging time).

The outside skirts are hard to come by because the restaurant industry gobbles them up.
