Global cut guide

Where it comes from

The 'other' skirt steak. Thinner, wider, and slightly tougher than the outside skirt (which is the standard 'skirt steak'). Most restaurant fajitas use inside skirt because the outside skirt is exported or sold at premium. Requires high heat, fast cooking, and slicing against the grain. It is part of the plate primal (Transversus abdominis muscle — the inner diaphragm muscle).

In menus and butcher shops it is often discussed next to Skirt, Hanger, and Flank.
