About Skirt steak

Skirt steak is a flavorful, long, and thin cut of beef that comes from the diaphragm muscle of the cow. Known for its rich, beefy taste, it’s a staple in Latin American cuisine, often featured in dishes like fajitas, tacos, and grilled asado. High in protein, skirt steak supports muscle growth and repair, while also providing essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins for energy and overall health. However, it’s a fattier cut of meat, with both saturated and unsaturated fats, so portion control is key to maintaining a balanced diet. Skirt steak is best enjoyed grilled or seared, which helps enhance its robust flavor while reducing added fats. Always slice it against the grain to ensure a tender texture.
