Plate CutsThe plate or short plate section is found on the underside of the cow, right below the rib section. Only two steaks come from the underside of a cow, and it contains one of them.
The skirt steak is a long, narrow, juicy steak shaped like a belt. It is also known as the fajita steak. It is actually the muscle that attaches to the cow's diaphragm and is used for breathing. Consequently, it is a very tender steak with more fat than a flank steak. It can be rolled up and stuffed, or cooked flat. It is best when quickly broiled, and it marinates well.
