When I can’t find a skirt steak for my Chinese stir-fries, carne asada, tacos, or fajitas, the best skirt steak substitute for me is the flank steak<\/strong>. If you can’t find that, a flap steak or hanger steak<\/strong> replaces a skirt steak perfectly. If you make fajita or pan-fried recipes a lot, you have to learn to get by with these skirt steak substitutes. Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not many people fancy skirt steaks because of their tough texture, slow-cooking requirement, and the required tenderizing procedure. So, the grocery store doesn’t stock them enough. People always want ribs, ribeye steak, tenderloin, NY strips, T-bone, or porterhouse and seldom choose lesser quality beef like the skirts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a grill chef, I’m pretty used to these cuts of meat (the substitutes for skirt steak). So, I’ll break them all down to you, from the most noble to tough cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n

7 Best Substitutes for Skirt Steak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below are some of the best substitutes for skirt steak recipes, whether it is stir-fries, tacos, or fajitas. They can replace skirt steak perfectly in your recipes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Flank Steak <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flank steak is an affordable skirt steak replacement. While it is usually a large cut of beef about 5 to 6 inches wide, skirts, especially the outside skirt steak, are usually longer and thinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, flank steak packs intense flavor. Like a skirt steak, this cut of beef can become tough and stringy when not cooked properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure that you marinate the meat and choose the appropriate cooking method and recipe. If there’s no flank steak at the store, a variety of other cuts of beef<\/a> will make good substitutes for skirt steak.<\/p>\n\n\n
