Skirt
The skirt is located on the inside of the abdomen wall, next to the brisket navel end. The skirts look a little raggedy but are delicious: more tender than flank but with a similar grain and flavour.
SECONDARY CUTS
Skirt steak
Located on the inside of the abdomen wall just below the ribs, skirt steak can be either of two long, flat, well-marbled muscles: the diaphragm and the abdominal muscle. A little rough to look at, skirt steaks are versatile and full of flavour. These steaks provide more chew than others, which is easily softened with an acidic marinade. When cooked on high heat, the characteristic marbling imparts an outstanding flavour. Slice it thick against the grain before serving to ensure maximum tenderness.
