Years ago I waitressed in a pub & one of their weekly specials was skirt steak. I had a customer who said he loved skirt steak on fajitas or tacos but he found whole skirt steaks tough. I told him to order it and I would show him the "secret" to a tender skirt. When it came to the table I asked him how he was going to cut it- of course because of the length he went to cut it with the grain. I stopped him and showed him how to cut it. He enjoyed his dinner and raved about it to his wife and I scored one of the best tips I ever got! They became loyal regulars on skirt steak night.
@@KetogenicWoman no we are alot further north in the Cariboo - but I have been meaning to visit a local butcher shop here. I should stop procrastinating 😉
I always make fajitas out of skirt steak. And yes, they must be cut AGAINST the grain to be tender. Cook them hard, hot and fast and they do not need to be pounded. Its super beefy in flavor and super satisfying. I always eat the entire steak. Left overs are not that great to me. It used to be really cheap but not any more. I'd cook it 4.5 to 5 minutes TOPS!!! Overcooked is shoe leather.
I adore skirt steak. Hubby prefers steak on-the-bone. I have been trying new cuts to me, like sirloin tips. Never bought it or tried it before yesterday. Very good.
PLUS! I had a strip steak to cook today & after cooking it, I could see those lines You JUST taught me about; I did what You showed in this video. I think it saved the day!! I was able to eat the meat that without cutting it like that - I would have hated it!! PERFECT timing! Great explanation!! What a good teacher You are! We are so blessed to have You!! Thank You!!
Thank you for your wonderful channel! Your instructions are clear and your videos really show what you are doing! Your journey inspires me, and I love that you shared the ups and downs of it. When I get discouraged I turn on one of your videos. And, your personality is delightful! Thank you again.
YAY! I always wondered how to cook skirt steak. My store has it all the time. Now I know. So as soon as my recalled Cosori is replaced (could be weeks!), I have something new to look forward to. Anita, you're the BEST!
I’m making a skirt steak tonight for fajita bowls. It has been marinating in Barbacoa marinade for several days now and because it’s the warmest day of the Spring season so far I wanted to cook it in my air fryer. Thank you for the video! New subscription added 😊
😂😂😂That Minny Mouse talk at the end! This looks great! I've never even heard of "skirt steak"! Will have to search it out! Thank you! Hope it's okay - I shared your last Tuesday talk with friends on my FB💐 - it was so good.
Yes, the skirt steak is so worth finding, try a butcher! No I don't mind at all, I'm here to help people because I know how hard it can seem when people first start out! 💗🍁
Hi Anita!! Skirt steaks are almost impossible to find here in Michigan as well. I came upon them at a very small grocery store known for his meats, ONCE!!!! That's it! I wish I could find them again! The Bearded Butchers have a video in which they talk about them, they are on the underside of the ribs of the cow, (there is not a lot of it per cow) and it used to be they'd grind it up into ground beef or toss it! Now they do save and sell it as skirt steak! Pretty cool I thought! Yes, I wish more stores would carry them! It was tasty!!!!! I have LOUSY LUCK cooking steak in my 2 air fryers, one died and one I still have. I just cannot seem to get meats to come out nice and juicy as compared to my cast iron. I much prefer my cast iron over the air fryer for overall taste. Maybe it's because I don't have a Ninja, I'm serious there! The most I use my air fryer for is like a toaster oven. Sad, but true. I make shaved beef into chips and also do fry up chicken skins which there are never enough of those! Lol!!!! I'll intentionally buy chicken thighs IF on sale just for the skin! Lol! Yes, eventually we'll eat the meat, most often using Nili's breading she's come up with the recipe for, but in lard on the stove in my cast iron pan, again!!! Lolol!!! LOVED this video! I'm happy you brought attention to the Skirt Steak!!! Maybe MORE stores will carry it!!! We can hope!
Thanks for explaining what part of the cow as I was wondering! And that does explain why we don't see a lot of skirt steaks! Nothing wrong with cast iron pan cooking!
AND I'm 1st!! What a day!! When I see the old rooster timer, I feel like that is for me too. 😍 So happy to see Dad's favorite apron & pray this is a sign that all the old aprons are coming back. I have missed them. You sure know Your beef Grrrl!! I am just learning as I have never eaten beef other than an occasional filet mignon. I thought it was all dry & tough except that so... Plus it always set too heavy, too long in my tummy. Now I am learning & keeping things rare & eating fatty cuts & I am Loving beef!! & You always of course!! More blessings upon You!! HUGS
love the Skirt steak and an air fryer makes it so quick and easy! was thinking of getting the ‘best’ Breville air fryer? might try a similar steak called a Hanger steak aka Butcher’s steak (as in what the butcher keeps for himself… only one per cow)
@@KetogenicWoman not common as there is only one per cow and it’s not very big, similar texture to Skirt steak but does little work so is more tender and more flavorful - WholeFoods has two a week…. I bet your butcher would save you one!
Thank you, yummy. Do you have other recipes using this tool that are also keto/low carb friendly? Simple how to's? Thank you. I have the 5 in 1 grill. 😊
In my 5 in 1 Ninja (which I replaced eventually) I have made Keto muffins and other things, my older videos have these recipes because I was more keto than carnivore back then. ruclips.net/video/4ohYSjdeTug/видео.html
I love the simplicity of this recipe. I love the taste of beef, so no complicated seasonings needed. Great find at the butcher for sure! I love the challenge of cooking cuts of meat I have never tried before. Have a great week!
That looks absolutely scrumptious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Skirt steak is so expensive here, and I am sure most places! That's a really nice pack you got, too. Mangia :D
Anita, have you noticed a difference in how your meat cooks w/the newer XL Ninja grate/pan sitting up higher, closer to the cooking element? I have the same as your old one, the Ninja Foodi Grill, (which needs replacing) & while I might miss the 510 degree high temp for cooking steak, I think the trade off of having the meat closer to that heat may be worth it. Thanks in advance for any info you might share.✨Samantha in AZ
I still have not used the grate but I feel that my steaks that I air fry do seem to cook a little faster than in the old one. I feel like I am still learning the best times with this one!
My favorite bones to use are oxtail leftovers but you can just save up leftover bones in the freezer until you have enough to fill the pot! ketogenicwoman.com/keto-and-carnivore-bone-broth/
I wish I would have seen this a month ago when I found a skirt steak for the first time in my area. 😂😂 Let's just say the dogs nearly choked on it, it was so tough! But lesson learned 😂😂
That looks so good and so quick, I’ll have to check the stores for it. Anita I was thinking of upgrading my ninja grill to one like yours, do you like it better or as much as your other one? 😘
I like it as much as my old one but the only thing that is better is that the tray holds more. Everything else is about the same. But that said my daughter is thrilled she got a Ninja and I am thrilled that I had an excuse to get a new one!
I would be more inclined to grill it on the BBQ if possible. Fast fry in a cast iron would work but the size of the steak could be an issue, unless you did it in batches.
@@KetogenicWoman thank you for the quick reply!! Just read so many reviews and had never seen you have issues💞 I just love your channel and videos! Hope house hunting is going well!!
LMNT has 1000 mg sodium. Carnivores lose all water soluable nutrients because we don't hold onto our fluids. I was having horrible pain through my mid section. Turns out abdominal cramps are the symptom of sodium deficiency. LMNT miraculously cured my deficiency and all the pain went away. 👍🤗🥳
I have a recipe on my blog for DIY electrolyte and so does LMNT, they freely publish their own recipe! The thing is not everyone is up for making it. Have you ever been a full time working Mom with 4 kids? I have and there was no making my own anything at the time. We all have different budgets and different needs.
sodium is very easy to get from diet though, so adding it in is rather pointless. the magnesium amount is pretty low as to be useless as well. the potassium seems to be the only thing relevant there@@24carrotgold8
its not that hard to make a DIY electrolyte. Working full time with kids doesn't make it any harder. its much easier than meal prepping but to each their own@@KetogenicWoman
I have a BM every single day on carnivore! I use a castor oil pack for one hour every other night and it works like magic! Even when I've had to go away for a few days the effect carries on and I just start using it again when I get back. I should do a video on it, because a lot of people suffer needlessly with constipation. But for now google it! You need a bottle of castor oil and some soft thick cotton I bought a pack from Amazon like this one: amzn.to/3zpuCCm
Awesome focus Anita. Watching you work on patience before devouring the delicious steak - made my mind and body to start dancing to the disco music below.

Have yet to see this cut in any BC stores where I live but will be keeping an eye out - looks delicious ❤
I think the best bet is a butcher shop. Do you live anywhere near Otter Coop? I did find it there once!

Skirt and flank steaks are my favorite, the most flavorful imo.
All I know how to cook is a ribeye! You have expanded my horizon……thank you!
Thanks for your tips on preparing a skirt steak. I've lived and taught in areas where Mexican food was typical but I never fixed it for myself.
Thank you. Have had flank steak many times but never skirt steak. Will try!

I have a skirt steak and will cook it just like you showed us, thank you Anita. ❤
Hope you enjoy!
@@KetogenicWoman It was delicious.
Beautiful! I LOVE skirt, flank and bavette steaks. The air fryer is just so handy! Well done , thank you!
You are so welcome!
I’m going to get the larger air fryer like yours tomorrow. I think I can cook the psmf bread in it too. I’ll give mine to my granddaughter. 🎉
Please let us know if the bread works….it just looks too shallow.😊
I think the buns will work but not sure about a loaf!
How did that turn out? I’m still getting used to my air fryer!
Buns? Cool!
Is there a video how to make buns?
thanks!
You make everything look so delicious well,except those sardines 😂 Thank you Anita
😅 I try, lol!
Thank you mine turned out pretty darn good! First time ever making flank steak
YAY! I always wondered how to cook skirt steak. My store has it all the time. Now I know. So as soon as my recalled Cosori is replaced (could be weeks!), I have something new to look forward to. Anita, you're the BEST!
oh enjoy!
yes please.
I will look for skirt steak the next time I go to the meat store! Looks delicious!
I definitely have to hunt them down but when I see them I buy them!
I’m making a skirt steak tonight for fajita bowls. It has been marinating in Barbacoa marinade for several days now and because it’s the warmest day of the Spring season so far I wanted to cook it in my air fryer. Thank you for the video! New subscription added 😊
Hope you enjoy!
@@KetogenicWoman it was WONDERFUL!! Total hit with the family, they were disappointed that there were no seconds 😁
Never tried skirt steak before, might just give it a try. Like you said perfect when you don’t have a lot of time to cook.
I love to "season" skirt steak with the Mango Chili LMNT. Yummo!
wow, that sounds nice!
Never saw a skirt stake anywhere but I will try to find it,it looks so good
Yummy Anita, love skirt steak. I was going to ask if that was a new apron. Love that it belonged to your father ❤
Thank you. I have a whole box of them from when he passed. It's actually why I wear aprons in my cooking videos, sort of a way to honor him.
Oh my, looks so good. 😊
I will definitely give it a try!
Happy Carnivore...yum 😊
Love these cooking lessons. Thank you Anita. 👏👏👏
That looks delish Anita! I've yet to find that cut around here~

That looks amazing
Apparently I've been cooking my skirt steaks way too long, as they are usually quite tough and chewy. Now I know better for next time. Thanks!
That steak looks amazing. I always cut my steaks wrong way
I am new at your u tube and thinking of following this lifestyle of eating .. thank you it looks delicious
Welcome!!
That looked so yummy.
Anita, you should do an e-cookbook!
Simple and delicious! Would you cook a flank steak the same? I am curious part of the cow the flank vs skirt steak come from too! Does anyone know?
Yes, same idea with flank steak but they are thicker so take that into account with your timing.

They will also order things in if you can't find what you are looking for.

You are going to cause me to have to buy a Ninja Grill Anita!
lol, I'm sorry!

My skirt steak came out very juicy. I just hate the rubbery skin on the back. It made it hard to cut the steak into strips.
Oh, if you want you can take that off with a boning knife before you cook it. Mine didn't have it.
As DrBarry would say you got yourself some panda massaged meat. He he he
Lol, he is so funny!
I think you preheated your air fryer!
I followed the video, rested the meat, cut against the grain and still tough to eat! I’m bummed!
Anita did you add the grate for your skirt steak to cook on into your air fryer? Or just the pan?
Love dad's apron and your tulips on your counter
