When envisioning steak for dinner, cuts such as ribeye and tenderloin might be the first to come to mind. But don't forget skirt steak, a thin cut that's supreme when it comes to outdoor grilling.
This type of meat has more fat than a hanger steak or flank steak, meaning even the most mildly seasoned skirt steak will have out-of-this world flavor and juiciness.

Trying out a mushroom & Swiss Angus burger in a recent taste test provided me with a much-needed reminder that there's really no combination like steak, mushrooms, and Swiss cheese to please a crowd of meat eaters. I've got a speedy weeknight dinner planned that makes the most of leftover skirt steak by serving it alongside a slivered mushroom salad.
Because skirt steak is a thin cut, it already cooks quickly, but slicing it up into pieces, as this recipe suggests, means your meal will be ready even sooner.

Doesn't this Asian flank steak with slaw look delicious? FinnLover posted it in the Dinner Challenge group on TeamSugar.
The recipe reminds me of an updated steak salad.

What's not to love about an entire meal on a stick? Kebabs are simple to prepare and fun to eat. While the ingredient variations are endless, this recipe uses strip steak, poblano peppers, white onion, and red potatoes.

I like to get my week off to the right start by making a square meal at home, but Mondays often wind up being hectic and frazzled. Thankfully, I've come across a dish that pleases everyone, doesn't require too much time or effort, and calls for only a handful of ingredients, including sirloin, which I have on hand. It reminds me of the pepper steak my mother made for me growing up.

If you haven't already done so yet, this long weekend is the ideal time to break out your barbecue. That's why I'm reinstating Sunday BBQ, a weekly series featuring my favored foolproof grilled dinners. I'm starting with beef and pineapple kebabs, because what would Memorial Day be without some grilled beef?

I'm always trying to find creative new uses for foods, so I knew I had to try this recipe! It calls for cola, which adds a caramelized sweetness to the steak sauce.
Although the steak is garnished with thick-cut red onions, when I make it, I plan on throwing in sliced mushrooms for good measure.

If you're a female and you like to cook, chances are you have a hungry male in your life who needs feeding. What do hungry husbands/boyfriends/sons/brothers/fathers like to eat? Simple foods like steak and sandwiches, or combine the two for the ultimate manly comfort food: the steak sandwich.

Typically used in fajitas, skirt steak is an affordable cut of meat that makes a delicious dinner. After a quick cook in a hot pan, the long, flat piece of beef is flavorful, tender, and juicy.
This recipe pairs the steak with crisp, garlicky oven-baked potatoes and a lightly dressed, peppery watercress salad.

To be more savvy, professional chefs like Traci Des Jardins are encouraging home cooks to use lesser cuts of meat. While some are ideal for slow-cooking techniques like braising, others are great for quick-searing. Skirt steak, a cheaper cut from the cow's diaphragm muscle, is ideal for grilling.
