I am so happy you posted this video. For years I’ve always wondered what the difference between the two meats was and you answered all my questions. Not to mention you are so charming and inspiring. Also Miss Ninja made this so down to earth and entertaining! I instantly subscribed! Thank you again, Chef!

[@deepdrop1]

I really enjoyed your video and especially seeing you two appreciate each other's company and the warm energy between you. It makes me miss Florida so much, but it made me feel happy-thank you for that! The chimichurri sauce looks great and I am eager to try it. Next time I cook skirt steak I will definitely try the sauce out.

[@k00ey]

I respect the research and effort put into these videos. Keep it up, Ninja!

[@greetdekeizer4369]

Great video Ninja. Keep em coming. As always great camera work and very informative. Always end up with more knowledge after watching and that is a very good thing.

Love the format Ninja and always so informative thanks from all of us

[@SL1CK1307]

I was gonna look at more videos but I ran into yours first and I no longer need to watch another video. This one answered all my questions. Good stuff Mr. Ninja

[@xmozzazx]

I am so happy you used that grill Brotha! I love that thing! I'm going to have to try more steak cuts like this. I never see anything like it where I get my meat, I'll have to ask and see. NINJA APPROVED!!! KFTM as always!

[@HugoDahl]

Now I know what the difference is - and still don't like that the same piece of meat can have 2, 3 or more names to confuse me! I do think I'll be getting some - whatever the local store calls it, and firing it up! Good stuff Ninja! Also, for number A and number B. It's like people have never heard of Cuban Numerals! Roman numerals: I, II, III, ... V, X, C, etc. Cuban numerals: A, B, 'nother B, C, DEEEEEELICIOUS!

Thanks JB!! Coming soon 🙌🏻

[@hv_247]

Yesssss!! I needed this video!! 🔥🔥🔥 Curious about the “outside skirt” steak as well is there a difference with outside and regular skirt steak?

[@heythere3780]

Outside is more tender then inside.

[@alyezaserebo]

It's a dish full of love and care. The person who eats this food will surely enjoy and their tummy will get satisfied! 😋

[@NeilSarap]

Very nice cook and explanation 👍🔥🔥🔥

The chimichurri looked àwesom. My wife is from Argentina and makes chimichurri almost the same but without the red pepper. She also ads vinegar. Delicious.

[@jomarieortiz9321]

I love Skirt steak! But bought the flat steak so thank you for the tips on how to cook it!

[@starwarsfan-ye9hw]

is it flat or flap steak now? i’m confused

[@Cocinerofranco]

thank you for making a good job brother!!!

I love both! Hot hot and fast for skirt, and I actually smoke then reverse sear my flap steak. They are both very similar I can't pick between one or the other haha.

Stick a fork in me, I am done! This is the first video of yours I ever watched and I am in love with both of you. I needed help with dinner tonight and I was feeling irritable about it. Every part of this video helped me. I understand what I am doing now and I am in a much better mood. Number A and Number B are brilliant and I can't wait for an opportunity to use them on my mom.

nice upload team

[@ucdbnxt7318]

NINJA!!! - I cook it all sous vide and didn't care for flap.. Inside or outside skirt, I go 132/24 and sear as tho I was grilling. Marinated skirt such as Arrachera brand, I go 132/8 and sear as tho I was grilling. Fabulous and tender...

[@wildernessman760]

Well you said that a flap steak sometimes is sold as skirt steak. So if it's not a true skirt steak and I think it is and I want it more well done then it will be tough. So I guess in order to avoid having a tough piece of meat I can't ever cook it to more than medium rare. Since some butchers are not truthful wow thanks for the tip.

[@walteriannaccone5374]

Your a hoot ty❤️

[@briantopps5638]

Entraña is on of my favorite cuts. This skirt steak is entraña correct?

[@nickylocks]

In hexadecimal code it's 0 thru 9 and A thru F in a numerical format. So... number A and number B would be accurate in hexadecimal code.

[@SaltyTales]

jajajajajajajaja! 👊🏻......you know your stuff brother!

[@mokouf3]

Converting from hex code to decimal number: A means 10, B means 11

Can do a skirt vs flank vs hanger vs flat iron steak 😆

[@SaltyTales]

Oh yeah and int he store thay have some nice packed hangers for sale! 😂😂😂 Great idea!

[@charliep9066]

This would be a GREAT idea! I always get these 4 confused! And also - the bavette steak - is that just another name for flank? Or flap? So much confusing information out there about these similar flavour/texture cuts. Please set the record straight for all of us, Ninja! I know you'll do the research.

[@grlmgor]

My money on flat iron but Ninja likes skirts and hangers.

Is there a difference between flap steak and flank steak?

Ranchera/Arrachera = Skirt steak. Main component in an Asada aka kickback. A favorite here in California!

I like peanuts not because they’re soft…I like the crunch. I like meat a bit chewy, often, cause then i don’t crave crunchy or chewy things afterwards. Tender & juicy is great, no doubt, but so is chewy & flavorful👍 Sometimes I just crave jerky, lol…

[@BenJamin-0707]

i go to broward meat and fish too the one on pines best meats

[@cj-sp8ed]

Instead of cutting the flap steak in half, I pound it out before marinating, this makes a huge difference in the tenderness.

[@m1ha5]

Why not put number A in the crushed pineapple for 45 minutes to change the tenderness?

[@alamoconsultingservices]

I have seen meat markets selling more and more the flap steak and, for whatever reason, selling it about 30-50% more expensive than inside skirt steak. They NEVER tell you is the bottom sirloin just sliced in a butterfly cut. That's BS.

[@jamesbrandon8520]

Now correct me if I’m wrong but I believe it’s the skirt steak that that has an inside skirt and and an outside skirt and most people say the inside is the best, or am I thinking of the flank steak not sure can’t remember but loved the video as always

[@SaltyTales]

Skirt steak has an inside and outside and that video is coming as soon as I can find inside skirt steak! 😂😂😂 Man that is difficult to find!

[@sprocket40]

Well skirt has inside and outside. Flank is fajita meat typically. Flap is bottom sirloin All three fall into alternate steaks that rely on proper cooking and cutting like the top butt cap otherwise known as the queen. All three are pretty overpriced now. The blade out of the chuck is the next area that gets great results. That is sold as blade steak with the crappy sinew left in as cross cuts or as flat iron as the long muscle grouping.

[@sprocket40]

Hanger is the other “butcher” cut that had a vogue period and got incredibly overpriced. All of them are fantastic steaks but fad created a price hike.

[@sprocket40]

I’d also add blade is commonly sold as boneless short ribs in several areas.

[@mafitron]

@@SaltyTales Sams club sells inside flank steak

[@tejanissimo]

Empieza hacer videos en espinacas también

[@sammygg21]

What would you marinade it in?

[@SaltyTales]

Try some worcestershire sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, pepper, salt, some cilantro and for the kick red pepper flakes! Enjoy my friend 👊🏻

[@chato9b]

Flap steak is not serloin tip, close to it the tri tip is next to the serloin tip witch is also called the knuckle and there is 2 kinds of skirt steak out side and inside one is next to flap meat and other is next to ribs on shoulder

[@tejanissimo]

Arrachera tacos....es medianoche y ahora tengo antojo

[@RobMocar]

Check in.. In UK flap is called onglet or hangers steak

[@SaltyTales]

Humm interesting 🤔

[@SaltyTales]

Hanger is something else here but I never heard of onglet... Good info! Thanks! 😀😀

[@RobMocar]

@@SaltyTales Oh a hanger here is also for hanging clothes , its also was referred to as the butchers cut as they used to keep it back for themselves, back in the day.. however most modern butchers wouldnt know what you were asking for unless you pointed to it on the chart

[@scotthudson8172]

27.99 a pound for choice skirt steak at doris Italian Market. and my man you crazy wearing a long sleeve down here in plantation.

Maybe you should do Letter 1 and Letter 2 instead.

[@josez9452]

A&B are not numbers? What did they teach me in school then? I’m confused 🤔. Both cuts look amazingly DEEEEEEELICIOUS. Ñoooo I’m hungry now. I guess the couple of 👎 must of been from vegans & vegetarians. Ninja & Mrs Ninja I’m pretty sure all of us who gave you a thumbs up would give you more than two 👍 if we had more. Do big toes count ?

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I haven’t found an application for skirt steak which doesn’t come out better using flank steak. Skirt steak is just too stringy/fatty for me.

Ninja, don't get me wrong, I really like your work and your teachings, but... A traditional chimichurry does NOT GOES with cilantro but with flat leaf parsley ( no that curly crap ) but italian stile flat leaf parsley, I know, I am from Argentina !!!

[@SaltyTales]

Never getting anything wrong. Chimichurri is made in many but many different ways, it is also called salsa verde and each country has hundred’s of ways of doing it… I’m sure you are thinking on the Argentinian chimichurri which is made out of the Italian way of making salsa verde but there are many other ways. I like mine with cilantro and paprika and a bit of spicy chili! Delicious! 😀
