Natural Black Angus Outside Skirt Steak, Ready for Outdoor Grilling!

Sourced from premium Natural Black Angus cattle, this skirt steak is prized for its rich, beef-forward flavor and signature loose grain that readily absorbs marinades. Cut from the plate section, it delivers a satisfying bite with exceptional tenderness when sliced against the grain. Its thin, uniform profile makes it ideal for a wide range of high-heat cooking methods—grill, pan-sear, broil, or stir-fry. A go-to choice for chefs and home cooks alike, it's perfect for bold, global dishes such as fajitas, carne asada, Korean bulgogi, or steak salads.

Certified Humane® by Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC).
Stringent audits ensure the animals are calm, relaxed, and well cared for throughout their entire lives. Cattle prods, cages, crates, and tie stalls are strictly prohibited.
The animals are free to roam and graze on pastureland, and finished with high-quality corn-based feed, with no animal byproducts, antibiotics or growth hormones.

Grading

USDA Choice - due to its naturally high marbling and intense flavor, skirt steak is sought more for texture and taste than marbling grade — making a USDA Prime Grade less critical than in premium grilling cuts.

Cooking tips

Marinate to Enhance: Skirt steak’s open grain structure makes it highly receptive to marinades. Use acidic components (e.g., citrus, vinegar, or yogurt) to help tenderize and amplify flavor. Limit to 2–12 hours depending on marinade intensity.

🔥 Cooking Techniques
High-Heat, Fast-Cook
Ideal Methods: Grill, cast-iron sear, broil, or flat-top.

Target Doneness: Medium-rare to medium (125°F–135°F internal temp) is optimal. Overcooking leads to toughness.

Rest After Cooking: Let rest 5–7 minutes to retain juices.

FAQ - USDA Prime Beef

What does USDA Prime mean?

USDA Prime is the highest grade of beef in the United States, based on marbling, tenderness, and overall quality. Only a small percentage of beef qualifies for this grade.

Is USDA Prime better than Choice or Select?

Yes. USDA Prime has significantly more marbling than Choice or Select, resulting in better flavor, tenderness, and juiciness.

Is all USDA Prime beef the same?

No. While all Prime beef meets minimum standards, quality can still vary based on sourcing, feeding, and handling. Well-sourced Prime beef will have better consistency and flavor.

What’s the difference between grass-fed and grain-finished beef?

Grass-fed beef develops deeper, more complex flavor, while grain finishing helps increase marbling and tenderness. A balanced approach delivers both flavor and texture.

How should I cook USDA Prime steak?

High heat methods work best:

  • pan-searing
  • grilling
  • broiling

Allow the steak to rest after cooking for best results.

What temperature should I cook ribeye to?

For optimal flavor and texture:

  • Medium-rare: 130–135°F
  • Medium: 135–145°F

Avoid overcooking to preserve tenderness.

Can I freeze USDA Prime beef?

Yes. Vacuum-sealed beef freezes well and maintains quality when thawed properly in the refrigerator.
