Skirt steak is an inexpensive cut of beef. It ranks with filet mignon as my favorite juicy and tender cut. It is simply delicious grilled or fried and served with blue cheese dressing.

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.
