USDA Choice marinated skirt steak, also known as seasoned arrachera, sold by the pound in full case quantities. This steak has been mechanically tenderized using papaya extract and enhanced with a marinade that increases the weight by 22%, ensuring exceptional tenderness and flavor. The meat features natural marbling characteristic of USDA Choice grade beef and is pre-seasoned for convenience.

This cut is ideal for grilling, fajitas, tacos, and steak salads. Due to the tenderization process, Costco recommends cooking to an internal temperature of 160F for food safety, though the tenderization and marinade keep the meat juicy and flavorful even at this higher temperature. For best results, grill over high heat (500F+) for approximately 5 minutes per side. When slicing, cut the long steak into sections first, then rotate 90 degrees and slice thin strips against the grain to maximize tenderness. Average package weight is 3 pounds, though this item is sold as a full case purchase.
