How to cut Skirt Steak like a PRO

What's the secret? Cut your steak AGAINST the grain...

Good to see a talented Bayless that knows what he’s talking about.

YouTube speed trap got him on that second slice

I really find it's best when cut into cubes after cutting into strips for tacos. Then slightly cooked in cast iron.

You're my favorite chef of all time! You are the reason why I eat delicious food. I was sick and tired of over well done cooked steak with only salt and pepper growing up (when we could afford it). Also I was tired of just eating eggs and noodles all my childhood. You taught me to learn how to cook and how to cook with flavor 😂. You're my real life hero! Thank you for all your hard work and passion for food. If it wasn't for PBS channel 8 and you having your show my stomach and heart would never be satisfied ❤. You're the man!

Skirt steak is great even on its own. I was using it for fajitas, but one night, I did it up with some scalloped potatoes and green beans. It was incredible.

Underappreciated Chef.. He's just fantastic and recipes easy to understand ❤

We sometime use the word Genius to much, I worked in a kitchen years ago with this man .. Genius is not over stating anything about him.

Wow! Cutting against the grain?! I've never heard of that before! What a great tip!!

[lexijones]

I really appreciate learning the basics from you.

Rick Bayless, ..
Thank you for teaching me about my culture.
I've eaten what they so called traditional food... It's true traditional.
But, the other things such as your dedication and you teach us everything about, Mexican food 🥑
Thanks again for your support and traditional gift you have. Sir.

Godspeed to you and your family.

Chef Rick is the reason why I wanted to be a Chef

Remember when skirt steak was fairly inexpensive?

90’s in Houston, every big popular bar pretty much gave free happy hour tacos to draw all in. Was absolutely amazing. Now hard to find the better product anywhere even meat markets w/o donating organs comparatively.

He cut that second piece ‘with the grain’ 🤦🏻😅

THANK YOU RICK BAYLESS FOR THIS PRESENTATION. SKIRT STAKE IS ALSO THE MOST “HEART HEALTHY” MEAT. IT IS GREAT THAT YOU ALSO PRESENT IT DELICIOUS 😋🙃

It’s all I ever use for carne asada…
Well I have used flank steak before, but that’s because I couldn’t find a skirt.
(I can’t believe a pro cut the 2nd one with the grain. The grain is easier to see on a skirt or a flank than literally any other cut. The master blew it here. I can’t believe he did it and I can’t believe it got past editing and got posted. Makes the master look like any other trainee making a mistake)

I just had a skirt steak although I believe this was inside skirt. I cut in slices but not across the grain. Next time! It was still darn good.

[nikokorosec]

if you look closely he actually cuts the second half of the steak with the grain :)

Skirt steak is actually my favorite food so I agree with you
