25 Flavor-Packed Skirt Steak Recipes

Skirt steak is all about flavor; it's widely regarded as one of the tastiest beef cuts. Because it contains a lot of connective tissue, skirt steak is an excellent candidate for the tenderizing touch of marinades. While cooking briefly over high heat, the seasonings mingle with the meat, creating juicy, savory dishes like grilled balsamic-soy marinated skirt steak and tantalizing kebabs. Scroll through for these and other mouthwatering skirt steak recipes.

Steak, Potato, and Chorizo Kebabs with Red Pepper Mayo Caitlin Bensel "Almost nothing pairs better with potatoes than steak, so here I thread strips of skirt steak onto skewers with baby Dutch yellow potatoes," writes cookbook author Ann Taylor Pittman. "The intense beefiness of skirt steak is most welcome, and this cut is surprisingly well-suited to kebabs. Slices of robust Spanish chorizo crisp up on the grill and offer bursts of intense flavor as you eat the kebabs. Coating everything with smoked paprika amplifies the effect of the grilling."

Pad See Ew Kelsey Hansen / Food Styling by Annie Probst / Prop Styling by Gabe Greco For this take on the popular street food from Thailand, slices of skirt steak are marinated in soy sauce, cornstarch, and baking soda. This mixture is known as the velveting technique; it gives the meat a tender and silky texture. After marinating, the meat is stir-fried until seared and browned. Then tender noodles and Chinese broccoli are gently folded in to ensure their integrity, and a quick scramble of eggs adds more richness and color to the dish.

Grilled Skirt Steak with Panzanella © Line Klein Like many restaurant chefs, Michael White "shocks" fresh vegetables to make them super crisp by submerging them briefly in an ice-water bath.

Chile-Spiced Skirt Steak Tacos © Con Poulos In 2006, three brothers — Jesse, Brian, and David Vendley — started hawking homemade tacos from a cart on the streets of Soho in Manhattan.

Dave Beran's Best Recipes, From Grilled Skirt Steak To A Wild Take On Chips And Dip

When Food & Wine named Dave Beran as a Best New Chef in 2014, the avid runner shared that he had developed the "Hunt" menu at Chicago's Next restaurant while he was training for a marathon. "That menu was not really about hunting but about being outside and searching for something and taking in everything around you," he explained. "I ran over a fallen birch tree, and it gave me the idea to serve a plate of appetizers on a log."

That spirit of creativity and observation fuels everything Beran puts on the tasting menu at his ever-changing fine-dining restaurant Seline in Santa Monica, California, and his elevated French spot, the Michelin-starred Pasjoli, nearby.

The self-taught chef has long been treasured as a trusted mentor to the culinary community, and more recently as the culinary instructor who gets actors like Jeremy Allen White and Will Poulter convincingly camera-ready as chefs on The Bear, as he revealed on an episode of F&W's Tinfoil Swans podcast.

Clever upgrades like Chunky Olive Butter and Celery Salt amp up flavor in dishes like Potato Chips with Whipped Beurre Blanc and Herbed Leg of Lamb with Roasted Tomatoes, while Autumn Oxtail Stew and Cauliflower Couscous with Cheesy Crumbs are cleverly crafted to pair perfectly with wine.
