Beef Skirt Steak
Beef Skirt Steak
All prices shown per pack, pack size variable
Beef skirt steak is an under-rated cut that's seen as being a bit less, well, glamorous when compared to other steak cuts. Here at Healthy Halal, we urge you to think again about this very special piece of meat – it's got a lot more to offer than you might think. Beef skirt is a long, thin internal muscle that does the job of operating the beef animal's diaphragm. That means it's in charge of breathing, so it's certainly a hard worker. This hard work translates into the really intense beefy flavour and an open-grained texture that gives the skirt steak a bit of stretch. Forget what you've heard about this being a tough cut. It does have a bit of bite, but that's to its advantage – making it a really satisfying steak when cooked quickly and left pink and juicy inside.
*Suitable for home freezing.

The key to making the most of your beef skirt steak, and avoiding toughness, is speed. By cooking it quickly on a hot griddle or over white-hot coals on the barbecue, you can preserve tenderness and really appreciate the punchy flavour of the cut. It works perfectly with bold accompaniments so don't scrimp on hot spices, tangy sides and rich sauces – skirt steak will give them all a run for their money.

At Healthy Halal, our expert butchers practise what's known as 'seam' butchery. That means they work with the anatomy of the carcass to retain the integrity of each muscle. Cuts that are made up of single muscles, rather than a collection of muscles cut in a slab, are easier to cook and benefit from consistency of texture and flavour. The muscle that makes up beef skirt works alongside the muscle that becomes bavette steak. While the two are very similar, the bavette is a slightly different shape and has a looser texture. 'Seaming' these two cuts out separately lets us preserve and appreciate their subtle but distinctive differences.
