Skirt Steak for Lunch?

Where do you go for skirt steak at lunchtime?

I think skirt steak – esp. at a steakhouse – is the perfect choice for a lunchtime meal. It’s not so hefty and rich like a porterhouse or a ribeye that it’ll weigh you down or make you look like a total glutton in the middle of the day. But it’s still red meat – and a mighty fine tasty cut of red meat. To me, it’s the perfect cure for the midday red meat blues.

And today I had those blues. So it was off to Carlito’s Gardel (which, by the way, does not get enough love on these boards). With their great $24 3-course prix-fix menu, not only did I get a damn good slab of skirt steak, but I also ended the meal with a dulce de leche ice cream.

I think Nick & Stef’s also does a fine skirt steak for lunch, which goes perfectly with the German potato salad.

I know Malbec also has a skirt steak on the menu, but never have tried it for lunch.

So, where do you go for skirt steak, esp. during lunchtime?

    Surprisingly Fromin's on Wilshire in Santa Monica had a good one for breakfast, and I'm sure they have it for lunch and dinner.

        what about the London broil at Taylor's would that consitute a skirt steak?

        It's really tasty.

            I see that Meet in Culver City has skirt steak on their dinner menu for $19.95. I might just give it a try, now that you've mentioned it. Very flavorful if cooked and sliced right. Hanger steak for lunch at $12.95. They might do a skirt steak for lunch if you asked.
