Skirt steak differs from premium steaks in that it has larger fibers and less fat, making it slightly tougher. Therefore, this cut requires special care, and then you'll have a tender and juicy piece of meat on your plate, almost as tasty as more expensive cuts. Cut it into several pieces, season with salt and pepper, and fry for no more than 5 minutes in olive oil. As a side dish, sauté sweet peppers in tomato paste and mix them with boiled new potatoes. For a more interesting dish, use peppers of different colors.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water to a level about 2 cm above the potatoes; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 8 minutes, then drain.
  2. Meanwhile, cut the steak crosswise into 8 pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the steak (in batches if necessary) and cook until medium-rare, 1-5 minutes per side, depending on the steak's thickness. Transfer the steak to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.

  3. Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, a splash of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium-high, add 3/4 cup of water, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, parsley, and lemon juice. Divide the steak among plates and serve with the vegetables and lemon wedges.
