Also known as Arrachera, Fajita Meat, or Skirt Steak, the Inside Skirt is a long, thin cut with a distinct grain and a reputation for delivering bold, beefy flavor. Sourced from the plate section, this cut sits opposite the Outside Skirt and is perfect for marinating. While slightly leaner, the Inside Skirt absorbs flavor deeply and cooks quickly, making it ideal for dishes like fajitas, tacos, and stir-fries. It’s a go-to choice for chefs who value both taste and tenderness.
For best results, marinate the Inside Skirt for at least 2 hours to enhance tenderness and flavor. Then, cook it fast over high heat—grill, pan-sear, broil, or stir-fry. Avoid overcooking, and be sure to slice against the grain for maximum tenderness. This cut excels when served medium-rare and is especially popular in Latin American and Asian cuisine.
