recipe reviews for:

Grilled or Fried Skirt Steak

“Skirt steak is an inexpensive cut of beef taken from the diaphragm muscle. It ranks with filet mignon as my favorite juicy and tender cut. It comes in long, narrow strips about 3/4 lb. each. The grain runs across the narrow side and so for serving the steak should be cut into serving-size pieces with the grain so that it can then be cut into bites against the grain.”

I thought this recipe was just okay. I read all the reviews, and since some seemed to think it wasn't flavorful enough, I added garlic powder to the marinade. I marinated the meat for 10 hours before cooking it. The marinade itself tastes good, but it didn't penetrate the meat. It was very bland as a result. I won't be adding this to my recipe box.

I was dubious that this recipe would improve the flavor of flank steak, but I gave it a whirl anyway. O.M.G.! Super easy and super awesome! My husband was asking what else we could marinate in this! I used a whole mustard seed country type mustard. Just yummy!

Sorry, I have tried Skirt steak many many times...marinated and cooked on high heat for just minutes, as tghe pros tell you.....for fajitas...and I need a better cut of steak. This is tougher than I think an experienced chef would want. If I make Steak fajitas it has to be a better cut than this...

Good recipe if you have this cut of meat and you are short on time. Didn't make my husband say "Wow!", but will make again. We added about 1/2 tsp garlic powder to give it more flavor.

This was quite good! I'm not a fan of mustard but this steak I did enjoy. Had to stove top cook since I don't have a grill. Fried in EVOO for about 12 mins. on each side. Definitely will make again.

A very good recipe I might have to use it at a cookoff !! I coated the meat with olive oil before the mustard and lemon juice.

MUCH better than ground beef for sandwich. Tried it marinated and not. Not is just as good. Just a juice, wonderful beef sandwich. Serves well with baked sweet potato or "Irish" potato. Presents well plated.

The skirt steak sauce was excellent. I didn't use just spicy brown mustard. After the steak was cooked, it still had a subtle hint of the bleu cheese and mustard. Good stuff. I should have allowed it to marinate the full 24 hours, but I still had fantastic results.
