About Skirt beef
Skirt beef, a thin, long cut from the diaphragm of the cow, is prized for its rich, beefy flavor and tender texture when cooked properly. It’s a staple in Latin American cuisine, often used for fajitas, carne asada, or stir-fries, and commonly grilled to highlight its robust taste. This cut is a good source of protein, essential for muscle maintenance and growth, and delivers iron and zinc, supporting immune health and energy production. Skirt beef also contains B vitamins such as B12, which are vital for red blood cell formation and neurological function. However, it has a higher fat content compared to leaner cuts, containing saturated fats that should be moderated in a balanced diet. Trimming excess fat and pairing it with fresh vegetables can create a wholesome and satisfying meal.
