Discover Beef Skirt from The Black Farmer

Beef skirt is a versatile and flavourful cut known for its rich, beefy taste. This cut comes from the diaphragm muscles of the cow, making it perfect for dishes that require a quick sear or a long, slow cook. The Black Farmer sources beef skirt from local farms in Wiltshire, Somerset, and the South West, ensuring that our meat is of the highest quality and sustainably produced. Our free-range cows graze on lush grass and enjoy a stress-free life in the beautiful British countryside.

What is Beef Skirt Good For?

Beef skirt is ideal for dishes like fajitas, stir-fries, and grilled steak sandwiches. Its robust flavour and loose texture make it perfect for absorbing marinades, enhancing its taste.

Is Beef Skirt the Same as Stewing Beef?

No, beef skirt is not the same as stewing beef. While both are tougher cuts, skirt steak is best suited for quick, high-heat cooking or slow braising, whereas stewing beef is typically used for slow-cooked dishes like stews and casseroles.

How Should Skirt Steak be Cooked?

Skirt steak should be cooked quickly over high heat to medium-rare for the best texture and flavour. This cut benefits from a quick sear on a hot grill or in a skillet, followed by a short resting period to keep it tender.

How Do You Keep Skirt Steak Tender?

To keep skirt steak tender, marinate it before cooking and slice it against the grain after cooking. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the meat tough and chewy.

By choosing The Black Farmer’s beef skirt, you support local farmers and sustainable, ethical meat production. Enjoy a cut that’s perfect for a variety of dishes, knowing it has been sourced responsibly and with a commitment to quality.

Seasoning: Rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favourite steak rub.

Storage Instructions

To maintain the quality and freshness of skirt steak, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 32°F to 40°F (0°C to 4°C). Place the skirt steak in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to prevent any exposure to air or odors. Properly stored, skirt steak can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. If you plan to store it for a longer period, you can also freeze the skirt steak. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen skirt steak can maintain its quality for approximately 2-3 months. When ready to use, thaw the steak in the refrigerator before cooking.

We ordered a meat box whilst we were camping and had an issue with the delivery company. Chris from the Black Farmer was on the case before I even knew about it. I have never had such a positive customer experience when faced with an issue. Thanks to Chris our meat box arrived in time for our BBQ and was the most delicious hot dogs my family have ever tasted. We will certainly be ordering again and would highly recommend to others. Brilliant quality food and a company you can trust!

Received the Easter Box as a competition prize. Had no idea what to expect inside but what a lovely surprise it was. A full Easter Sunday lunch with everything provided and a recipe card as well. The box arrived, complete with ice packs, in excellent condition. The contents were fantastic. The lamb was amazing and I am not its greatest fan. The pie we made was delicious and yes I went straight to the supermarket and bought some Black Farmer sausages and bacon. Will def be ordering more from you in the future - a well deserved 5 stars!!

Initially I’d been reluctant to order as I didn’t want lots of fresh meat arriving with only me here to eat it! Customer Services assured me I could freeze the items upon delivery, which I did - with the exception of one sirloin steak which is now in my tummy and was absolutely delicious! 😁.Delightful service, prompt delivery and delicious food 😋😁🌟
