What's
In It?
The Skirt Steak is located near the plate, and is actually the diaphragm of the steer or heifer. This muscle helps the animal breath, and because of the pasture-raised lifestyle they lead, this muscle gets an incredible workout, which creates an awesome flavor and large muscle fibers. The location of this cut also means it picks up more of the dry aged flavor than other cuts on the animal. This cut is also known as the "Inner Skirt Steak." Our butchers trim this steak carefully so it is ready for the grill, and has just enough fat to remain juicy and delicious.

Cooking Notes
This thin cut only needs to be cooked over high heat for a very short period of time, 2-4 minutes per side. Prior to cooking, slice the skirt into thirds, lengthwise. This will make it easier to slice against the grain, which runs from top to bottom on the short side of the meat.
Not just a piece of meat
Great flavor starts in the field. At Porter Road, we partner with farmers who raise their animals on pasture, for a difference you can taste.
