Skirt steak is a less priced beef cut. It’s right there with filet mignon on my list of favorite juicy, delicate cuts. It tastes well grilled, fried, and with blue cheese dressing.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef skirt steak
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ⅓ cup prepared spicy brown mustard
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup blue cheese dressing (Optional)
Instructions
- Stir mustard and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Trim away most of the fat from steak; rub with mustard mixture. Place steak into a resealable plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, and up to 24 hours.
- Preheat a grill or large skillet for medium-high heat.
- Grill or fry steak for about 5 minutes per side, or to your desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut each steak along the grain into 4 pieces. Serve with blue cheese dressing.

I expected more after reading the reviews. I followed the recipe as written. This turned out tough and very mustardy. I guess I hoped the marinade flavors would transform magically. I’ll not make again.
This was great. I did add some garlic to the marinade. I coated meat and let meat marinate for about 45 minutes while it reached room temperature, I see that is recommended when cooking steak. Fried using high heat. Tender and wonderful!
Soooo yummy! i didnt have lemon so I used lime, but it was delicious!!! Definitely adding it to my summer grilling recipes!
We had this for dinner tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. The flavor went right through the meat with just a hint of mustard. Tender and delicious.
I never write reviews but this recipe was super easy. I too didn’t have enough time to marinate and it was still amazing! I will def make this over and over again.
I marinated this for several hours and flavor was good but steak was tough!!
That was such an epic fail.
We liked this and will probably fix again. I grilled it at 4 minutes to a side for a nice medium rare. We didn’t try the blue cheese but probably will the next time.
I did not care for this recipe.
Man that was a pretty good skirt steak, I have never cooked one of these stove top. None the less it turned our really well! Now if I can only figure out how to get my wife to wear a skirt id be in heaven!!!
Method was probably very good but the cut is definitely not a favorite. Most important, peel the fatty membrane off back the best you can, otherwise….chew, chew, chew.
AWESOME! So easy! I followed the recipe to the T and it turned out great! I marinated for about 3 hours. The blue cheese dressing is great touch. Can’t say enough good about this – TRY IT!
I thought this recipe was just okay. I read all the reviews, and since some seemed to think it wasn’t flavorful enough, I added garlic powder to the marinade. I marinated the meat for 10 hours before cooking it. The marinade itself tastes good, but it didn’t penetrate the meat. It was very bland as a result. I won’t be adding this to my recipe box.
I was dubious that this recipe would improve the flavor of flank steak, but I gave it a whirl anyway. O.M.G.! Super easy and super awesome! My husband was asking what else we could marinate in this! I used a whole mustard seed country type mustard. Just yummy!
Sorry, I have tried Skirt steak many many times…marinated and cooked on high heat for just minutes, as tghe pros tell you…..for fajitas…and I need a better cut of steak. This is tougher than I think an experienced chef would want. If I make Steak fajitas it has to be a better cut than this…
Good recipe if you have this cut of meat and you are short on time. Didn’t make my husband say “Wow!”, but will make again. We added about 1/2 tsp garlic powder to give it more flavor.
Absolutely delicious, as is – no changes needed. Whole family enjoyed the recipe and it was incredibly simple. Thanks!
This was quite good! I’m not a fan of mustard but this steak I did enjoy. Had to stove top cook since I don’t have a grill. Fried in EVOO for about 12 mins. on each side. Definitely will make again.
A very good recipe I might have to use it at a cookoff !! I coated the meat with olive oil before the mustard and lemon juice.
i sprinkled crumbled blue cheese after the steaks came off the pan. The crumbled blue cheese was as must have! Ver simple and delish!
MUCH better than ground beef for sandwich. Tried it marinated and not. Not is just as good. Just a juice, wonderful beef sandwich. Serves well with baked sweet potato or “Irish” potato. Presents well plated.
