About Skirt or flap steak

Skirt or flap steak is a flavorful, flat cut of beef commonly sourced from the diaphragm or lower abdominal region of the cow. It is prized in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Latin American dishes like fajitas and Mexican carne asada, as well as in Asian stir-fries. Known for its rich beefy taste, this cut has a marbled texture that makes it tender when cooked quickly at high heat. In terms of nutrition, skirt steak is an excellent source of protein, iron, and essential B vitamins, supporting muscle growth and energy production. However, it can have higher fat content compared to leaner cuts, so portion control is key for those watching their fat intake. To enhance its health profile, pair it with fresh vegetables or whole grains to create a balanced meal while highlighting its bold and succulent flavor.
