Pork Skirts

Recommended Posts

I picked up a bunch of Mangalitsa skirt steaks the other day at the market. I'm thinking of just throwing them on a hot egg grill and cooking them the same way I would cook a beef skirt steak. Im curious if anybody else has a better idea.

there are two skits , on each side od the animal

 

decently explained here ;

 

https://twocloveskitchen.com/flap-meat-vs-skirt-steak/

 

1/2 way down.  ive had the thinner version many times

 

rolled up , tied then cu in 1/2 making two ' pin-wjeeles '

 

and they were delicious.  I think the thinner 0n is hard to find.

bit its not as tender.

 

so , on the pig L

perhaps @Duvel  might ask 

 

his butchers ?

 

My guess (though I won't bet on it) is that the butchers where @Duvel lives and procures his pork, end up with somewhat different cuts than the butchers in Spain might.  Sorta like American beef cuts vs. European beef cuts.
