I Finally Found Some Outside Skirt Steak….In A Grocery Store!

[Panhead John]

THE VERDICT IS IN! ……
Well, I gotta say, the outside skirt is definitely worth seeking out if you can get it! This was by far the most tender skirt steak I’ve ever had. And the flavor was better too. The choice outside skirt was every bit as good as the Wagyu IMO. Both were great, but the Wagyu was a little softer chew than the choice grade, probably not a surprise with all the extra marbling. I ate a few pieces by themselves to compare, before putting them in my fajitas. When I first ate a few pieces, it reminded me of eating a well made ribeye steak, texture wise. While I thoroughly enjoyed the Wagyu skirt, I didn’t think it was enough to warrant the higher price. I’m not disappointed at all for buying some….at least now I can finally say I’ve tried some Wagyu.

Thanks Sid! They were the best fajitas I’ve made myself. I was actually able to bite straight through the slices of meat without having to tug and pull on the meat, as I had to do with inside skirt steak.

Look at you go with the taco! That’s straight up carne asada with the various grilled meats going on there!!!

This makes me want to drive to the meatup. Lat time I brought a bunch of HEB home. I haven’t bought the airline tickets yet. I drive a Kia Soul now, so with the difference between the ticket price and the cost of gas… Even with a couple cheap Motel 6 nights… Hmmmmm

If you do drive down Kevin, let me know. I can pick up some of that outside skirt for you, in case they don’t have it at the San Marcos HEB. I also want to give you some of that sausage I cooked. It’s the best I’ve found around here!

Bring me some Princes hot chicken if you do. Extra hot please!
