Ok, so what is a ‘Skirt Steak’?
The word ‘skirt’ refers to the cut of the steak. The meat is taken from the ‘plate’ area of the cow, which is just below the rib cut. It is long and flat, and valued for its flavor rather than its tenderness.
This is Going to be Difficult and Fussy to Cook, Right?
NO! This recipe is taken from my The Quick Six Fix: 100 No-Fuss, Full-Flavor Recipes Cookbook – Signed by Stuart! $30. I wrote this book to focus on recipes that are easy to prepare but really pack a punch. All the dishes have minimal ingredients and feature simplicity in their prep…but will wow your dinner guests every time. Stop slaving in the kitchen and start slaying!
Where to Get the Steak
Honestly, you probably will have all the ingredients you need for this dish already, and the one thing you will need to source is the steak. So, that being the case, take time to get your meat from a supplier you really trust, as a good quality steak here will make all the difference. I have certain stores that I know always carry a good range and quality of meat, and you can’t beat a great local butcher who will usually be able to advise you on what’s good that day, and indeed can often place special orders ahead of time if needed. It’s so worth working out who your go-to meat supplier is in your area. That way you save so much time and energy next time you are on the look out for a fine cut.

High Roller SKirt Steak
How to win friends and influence people: cook this steak. Invite people over you want to impress and they will be saluting you by the meal’s end. The best part of this recipe is that the marinade is made up of ingredients that you’re likely to have in your kitchen already. The sharpness of soy, vinegar, port, and chili permeates the meat, so each bite is packed with flavor.
Ingredients
1½ pounds SKIRT STEAK, sinew removed, membrane removed, fat trimmed (Ask your butcher to do this.)
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
½ cup port wine
½ cup balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon dried chili flakes
3 green onions, roughly chopped
Instructions
1. In a Ziploc bag, combine steak, soy sauce, port, balsamic vinegar, and chili flakes. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
2. Light a grill or heat up a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Remove steak from the bag and pour the rest of the marinade into a wide saucepan. Over high heat, reduce marinade for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until thickened.

4. Slice into ½-inch slices. Drizzle with reduced marinade, sprinkle with green onions and serve with roasted tomatoes.
