Skirt Steak (Bavette)

Description

Discover the exceptional flavour and versatility of skirt steak, also known as bavette. This prized cut, taken from the lower chest or flank, is renowned for its rich, beefy taste and tender texture when cooked correctly. A favourite in French cuisine, it’s perfect for a wide range of dishes, from sizzling fajitas to classic steak frites.

Skirt steak excels in quick, high-heat cooking methods such as grilling, frying, or stir-frying. Its loose, open grain makes it perfect for absorbing marinades, enhancing its already bold and robust flavour.

Cooking Tip: For best results, cook skirt steak over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, ensuring a caramelised crust while keeping the centre juicy. Slice thinly against the grain to maximise tenderness.

Serve with roasted vegetables, chimichurri sauce, or atop a fresh salad for a truly satisfying meal. Whether you’re cooking for family or entertaining guests, skirt steak (bavette) is a versatile and delicious choice.
