I am making fajitas, i dont have skirt steak , what should i use?

Question

i have chuck steak, round steak, and flat iron steak

Answer 1

Use what you have.  That is the only way you will know whether it works or not.  I prefer chicken myself.

Answer 2

Use the flat iron steak.  Undercook it a little and let it sit for 15 minutes before you slice it thin against the grain.  This will keep it juicy and delicious.

Answer 3

round steak will do the trick

Answer 4

Anything with work in fajitas chicken is good so is crab meat. Since you only have a few things i would use the flat iron steak. Good luck to you.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

I had fajitas last night they are great with boneless chicken b*****s!

Answer 8

Flat iron would work the best, the others work better for longer cooking times.

Answer 9

flat iron steak will work the best, make thin diagonal slices (on the bias) against the grain.... this will give you a more tender final product.

lol...beef advice from a Hindu!

Answer 10

Flatiron....cook rare and slice thin! :-)

Answer 11

any that is thin. Cut it against the grain to make it more tender.  Yummy fajitas are good.

Answer 12

beef or chicken

Answer 13

chicken.

Answer 14

Chicken works well.

Answer 15

If you must have beef, then use the round. Cut into 1/2 inch steaks, then pound thin to tenderize.

Remember that you can make fajitas also with chicken. Another meat that works well and is tender and juicy is pork tenderloin.

Answer 16

Filet Mignon should due well for you. How ever skirt will do very well also. This suggestion might be intresting to you;sprikle some crushed chicken boullion on while cooking. Wish I were there!
