When it comes to the best bits of beef, skirt steak has traditionally been overlooked. But with so many ways to prepare it—from slathering it in marinades, salsas and chutneys to baking it inside Cornish pastie hand pies—this tender cut of meat is something you'll crave.
"Oh yeah baby! This is what I am talking about! I used it on ribeyes and skirt steak as I had a little of both. I actually rubbed it on the steaks and they waited in the refrigerator for about 8 hours until I put them on the grill. I wiped them off and grilled them and then used the rest as a sauce."

"This gets five stars from me for the easiest, great tasting marinade I've tried. Marinated my skirt steaks in a plastic bag for about 2 — 3 hours, then broiled them in the oven 5 — 7 minutes each side, and they were delicious and very flavorful!"

"I grew up eating and loving pasties. I never made them before because I'm not very good at making the crust. This recipe helped me get past the crust concern by using a ready made pie crust."

"Churrasco is basically skirt steak. Skirt steak is usually a somewhat inexpensive cut of meat. The two sauces are a traditional chimichurri and a mock pineapple aioli. It's nice to have choices!"

"Really enjoyed the chimichurri sauce, and will enjoy using it with other dishes. I halved the recipe with no problem, and started my meat in the marinade when I came home from work at lunch. So that made this a great dish for a weeknight."

"This was fantastic! The skirt steak tasted amazing, and marinade was extremely easy. Marinated for about 4 hours. Ended up cheating and just grilled on the gas grill, though. But was still pretty good regardless!"

"Super easy and very tasty. Used flank steak, orange juice and a sliced onion. Ate it as sliced steak, not in tacos or anything."

"I've never done a dish like this before so was anxious to give it a try. Sweet, spicy & tangy all at the same time. I used oyster blade steaks trimmed & the meat was lovely & tender when finished marinating for a few hours."
-Mandy
"This was our first time making a skirt steak and we were a little nervous about it being tough. I followed the recipe exactly and the meat was perfect! It was just the way we like it, the 4 minutes per side was the right amount of time."
-Stephanie S.
"Super simple and delicious! We had this with salad and garlic mashed potatoes and it was absolutely wonderful."
-Kat's Mom
"I pre-sliced the steak to marinade and cooked it in a skillet with onions and peppers since it was raining. The flavor was awesome!"
-Greffete
"We used a cast-iron griddle on a gas grill to get the contact heat, and sliced the steak before marinating. Other than that, we followed the recipe closely and loved it. The blender gave us a thick, creamy marinade that coated everything beautifully, and the flavor coming off the grill was marvelous. We love fajitas and these are great!"
-Lavender Lynn
"I ate this delectable dish as a soft taco even with a little sour cream and loved it. So easy to make and fit my partiality to avocados perfectly. I will use the relish on other things like burgers too."
-MarraMamba
"I've made this twice exactly as written, using cheap whiskey. WOW! It is the best I have ever tried. Really good on skirt or flank."

"I am speechless, this dish was that good. I chose to follow this recipe exact for the sesame seeds, which we were out of, darn. The skirt steak and chicken melted in your mouth. This has to be one of our top recipes I have ever made. Very easy also to make, it just does not get any better."
-BLUE ROSE
"This delicious grilled skirt steak gets a 'thumbs up' from my grandson who couldn't give me a rating because his mouth was constantly full, and it gets 10 stars from the rest of us! This skirt steak was so flavorful and tender from the marinade. We grilled it on our 'indoor' grill which we take outside to cook on."
-DailyInspiration
"This is amazing! The acids in this marinade broke the meat down and this was amazingly tender and absolutely delicious. I just cut mine up on the plate and devoured it! I do have some that I'll have on a sandwich tomorrow. All I can say is that the flavors from the marinade are perfect! Going into my Best of 2012 cookbook. Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Spring 2012."
