The Plate
Outside Skirt Steak comes from the plate primal, located beneath the rib section. This area produces some of the most flavorful beef on the animal.
Unlike many thicker steaks, Outside Skirt Steak has a pronounced grain and loose muscle structure, allowing it to absorb marinades well while delivering exceptional beef flavor. Its combination of marbling and texture makes it a favorite for high-heat cooking methods and one of the classic choices for fajitas.
Best Prepared
Outside skirt steak is all about high heat.
Grill
Cook over direct high heat for 2–4 minutes per side until medium-rare.
Cast Iron
Preheat your skillet until smoking hot, add a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil, and sear quickly for a beautiful crust.
Rest
Allow the steak to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Slice Against the Grain
This is the most important step. Cutting across the muscle fibers shortens them, resulting in a much more tender bite.
Storage & Thawing
Keep frozen until ready to use.
Thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Cook within 3–5 days after thawing.
Do not refreeze once thawed.
Pro Tips
Marinate for 2–8 hours if desired, but premium Black Angus beef is flavorful enough with simple seasoning.
Finish with flaky salt after slicing.
Pair with grilled onions and peppers for classic fajitas.
Top with chimichurri for an Argentine-inspired meal.
Use an instant-read thermometer and cook to medium-rare (130–135°F) for the best eating experience.

The Plate
The plate primal is located on the lower belly of the cow, directly beneath the rib section. This area produces
richly flavored cuts that are known for their bold beef taste and distinctive texture.
One of the most popular cuts from the plate is the skirt steak. Long and thin with pronounced grain, skirt steak
is prized for its intense flavor and performs best when cooked quickly over high heat and sliced against the
grain.
Plate cuts are commonly used in dishes that celebrate big beef flavor, including fajitas, stir-fries, and grilled
steak recipes. When prepared properly, these cuts deliver exceptional taste and a satisfying, hearty bite.
The skirt steaks are the best we have ever had, including from our local butcher and local farm. They are so tender and juicy. I never freeze meat, and I was shocked how great they were. We received a gift card and decided to give it a try, and we are so glad that we did. We have already made a second large purchase and plan to buy many more! Can't wait to try the other cuts!
Unbelievably good rib eye steak. Excellent marbling and texture. Tenderness was fantastic! I have been ordering from another grass fed no hormone ranch that I thought was good. Hands down the color, marbling and taste of 44 Ranch steaks is unsurpassed! I’m officially changing to 44!!
$119 for 32 oz of the lowest quality outside skirt steak I've had to date. This will be my first and last order from 44 Farms. I have no doubts you produce better products than this, but you didn't send them to me. I've waited a long time to order from 44 Farms and did so because buy 2 get 1 free on the plate ribs is a good deal, along with a $10 bottle of Meat Church seasoning. The best part of my order was the Holy Cow seasoning, by far. I'll never cheat on my local butcher shop and mexican meat markets again.
i put in the wrong adress but i still had compensation even though i was at fault amazing customer service. the quality was really good as well, worth every cent.
You can't find this cut where I live on the east coast. Grilled over coal with just salt and pepper. Great flavor and very tender. I knew it was good when my picky eaters asked why it's so good, if I made it a new way. The only thing different was where I purchased the meat. I have some other cuts to try but I will likely be making a larger purchase soon.
My package arrived and I immediately set out one of the Strip Steaks to grill the next evening. Excellent flavor. I will be ordering from 44 Farms again and again. For anyone who has the equipment, the beef ribs are excellent from my smoker.
I ordered a 1/4 beef, and it showed up in two days. Amazing product and price per pound unbeatable with today's market. I've had there beef several times over the years and have never been disappointed. Thanks 44 Farms, Terry, Rockett Texas.
Sorry I don't have photos or a video But I will say that 44Steaks is the only place that I order my Steaks from now and their steaks are totally awesome. Also the specials that they offer are definitely worth it and they offer a lot of extras for the price with most specials.
Thanks 44 Steaks :)
I received the four free outside skirt steaks with my last order. These were absolutely the best skirt steak I’ve ever had. They were very flavorful. and extremely tender. I will be adding them to every order from now on also.
We normally buy rib-eyes and filet mignon cuts, but the way you bundle your steaks is great as it provides incentive to try new things. I have never had a skirt steak as delicious as what we got from 44 Farms. So now we are happy to buy even more bundles from time to time.
Fajitas that are both Tender and Delicious … easy to grill … cooks and sears to medium rare plus consistently and it takes my chili lime garlic pre-cook marinade soak exceptionally well. It’s just that good!
44 Steaks is the most tender flavorful steak I have ever had. They deserve a real grill that can seat/char to get that awesome crust. I have ordered multiple times and will continue to do so
salted and put on a hot charcoal fire for ~2 minutes per side. Perfect medium rare and one of the most delicious pieces of skirt steak I have had in a long time. I'd like to credit my cooking skills, but I think this steak probably did most of the heavy lifting!
Your meat is consistently over the top delicious. We kept the seasoning simple - salt and pepper and cooked it on the grill. From there we added a Thai essence - lime, brown sugar, fish sauce and peanuts to a lettuce wrap. Divine!
