315678 Mon Aug 07 20:47:07 -0700 2006 16 14 Washington DC & Baltimore Area 0 1793053 My favorite cut of meat to cook at home is a skirt steak (a.k.a. hangar steak or Roumanian steak). I have not seen a single grocery store or butcher stock this cut? In New York City (where I lived for the last 20 years), it is a common cut found in any grocery store. The cut is flavorful, tender, and cost-effective. Where can I find this cut? I live in Mt. Washington (near Pikesville). Thanks in advance.

No hangar steaks, and they "very rarely" carry skirt steaks. (Their unintentional pun not mine). Thu Aug 10 17:59:42 -0700 2006 1793119 17880 daeglo 1 1793295 Cierello's in Belvedere Square. $11.99 a pound for Prime Mon Aug 07 22:25:00 -0700 2006 1793053 21966 pleiades 1 1793736 I've found it on occassion at Costco as well (at least the one in Sterling, VA). Tue Aug 08 02:08:14 -0700 2006 1793053 22930 rcheng 1 1794180 Wegman's in Hunt Valley has skirt steak as well. Tue Aug 08 12:12:04 -0700 2006 1793053 12059 ko1 1 1794360 In this region, skirt steak and hangar steak aren't the same cuts, although there are some similarities. Skirt tends to be much thinner. For skirt steak, any market that is aimed toward Hispanic customers should have it, as that is the cut used for fajitas. Expect to pay $3.99/lb or less at your local bodega. Hangar steak isn't as easy to find. The Grand Mart chain often stocks it in cryrovac packages at $2.79/lb as "hanging tender". At that price, it comes with the sinew between the two halves of the cut and you will need to separate the two steaks yourself. It appears that there is a Grand Mart in the B'more area: 6901-14 Security Blvd., L11, Baltimore, MD, 21244, Tel : 410-594-9840. You may want to call ahead to be sure they have the hanging tenders, as I've seen the one in Sterling VA run out. I've never seen them out of skirt steak. Tue Aug 08 14:14:05 -0700 2006 1793053 10962 PollyG 1 1794473 Buy local! The producer that sells meat, lamb and poultry at the Waverly Farmer's Market usually has skirt steak. I just can't remember their name. They are usually on the right side as you head south through the market. Tue Aug 08 15:04:57 -0700 2006 1793053 12039 oakenfoodie 2 1794604 Are they still there? Haven't seen them lately. Tue Aug 08 15:59:18 -0700 2006 1794473 12059 ko1 3 1800715 yup. I bought a skirt steak two weeks ago. I was out of town last week, so I can't vouch for then. Thu Aug 10 23:27:52 -0700 2006 1794604 12039 oakenfoodie 1 1794503 I have had the exact same plea as you, and used to bring skirt steaks back from the NY area all the time. But now I have a sporadic supplier in Annapolis where I live. The local Giant will order skirt steaks for you, and they generally will put out on the shelves whatever you don't buy. If you do it enough they tend to get it in sporadically and stock the shelves without you ordering -- or so it seems from my experience. It's usually 5.99 lb. and is generally of very good quality -- an exceptional buy, although sometimes the price is 7.99. Wegmans has vacuum sealed skirt steak for 9.99 lb -- it's good. Tue Aug 08 15:15:32 -0700 2006 1793053 15962 chesapeake72000 1 1799794 Thank you so much everyone. I have enough to go out and seek my prized steaks. As far as hispanic based stores. Where are they. Any suggestions? Thu Aug 10 17:56:30 -0700 2006 1793053 17880 daeglo 2 1799861 Fells Point, on Eastern Avenue, theres a good sized one although I stopped going a few years ago because the people were unfriendly and I am pretty sure I was overcharged for unpriced produce (white girl discount) Thu Aug 10 18:20:44 -0700 2006 1799794 12234 hon 2 1799874 Upper Fells Point is a good place for hispanic stores. I believe I've seen skirt steak at La Guadalajara (at Eastern and Wolfe, I think) when I was buying chorizo. Be prepared to point at what you want, unless you speak Spanish. Thu Aug 10 18:25:51 -0700 2006 1799794 11669 Hal Laurent 1 4326280 I know it is 2 years ago.....Did you find a good place to buy it? I also moved from the NYC area last year and love skirt steak. I have found a great supply at my local Giant in Clarksville MD. The only problem is the price. I would love to know if you found any skirt for less than $7.00 a lbs. I keep at least 5 lbs in my freezer at any given time. Wed Jan 14 12:48:38 -0800 2009 1793053 257171 ribk 2 4326334 Fresh World in Glen Burnie always has skirt steak. I can't remember the price, but it's pretty cheap. If you don't want to travel that far, you could try Lily's in Columbia or maybe Lotte or Han Ah Rheum. Wed Jan 14 13:03:36 -0800 2009 4326280 13808 Jason1 3 4327294 Yes, I saw big hunks of skirt steak at Lotte Plaza in Ellicott City yesterday. Wed Jan 14 18:25:48 -0800 2009 4326334 247463 bobovespa
