How To Cook Skirt Streak
Skirt steak is an economical cut measuring approximately 20 inches in length perfect for many recipe applications. The key is to choose cooking methods that will have it ready quickly. When searing is desired, a high temperature will yield a tender bite in just a minute or two therefore it is wonderful for stir frying. Grilling is another ideal option, too.
The Technique
Skirt steak may be grilled outdoors or indoors using a grill skillet. A grill skillet has raised ridges over the surface that mimic those of a traditional grate. The key to achieving a beautiful appearance as well as optimum texture is to make certain those grates are good & hot before adding the skirt steak either to an outdoor grill or a grill skillet. Medium-High heat is ideal for either method & the steak should only be seared 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Allow the skirt steak to rest about 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. This will aide in locking in juices & delivering a good taste & texture to the meat.
