USDA Choice Inside Skirt Steak is a flavorful, thin cut of beef taken from the plate section of the cow, running along the inner chest wall. Graded Choice by the USDA, it offers a good balance of marbling and tenderness, delivering a rich, beefy flavor that makes it a favorite for fajitas, carne asada, and stir-fries. It is priced and sold by the pound.

Inside skirt steak is prized for its intense beef flavor and relatively thin profile, which allows it to cook quickly over high heat. It is best prepared by marinating briefly and grilling or searing over high heat to medium-rare or medium doneness. Slicing against the grain before serving maximizes tenderness. This cut is a staple for Latin-inspired dishes and works equally well in Korean BBQ and other internationally inspired preparations.
