Beef skirt is meat on top of the ribs - thus such an irregular cut. The only place I can find it is in the Mexican markets. Growing up we had it regular in West Texas, had to ask the butcher for it. Was considered trash beef. When I was at A&M, a friend invited me over for fajitas. Didn't know what that was until I saw it. It became the rage then. Funny looking back. I highly recommend the Mexican markets, very fine products. We have an excellent one in Lafayette, fine produce, cheeses, etc. You know it's the real thing when there is a separate counter for folks sending money back home.
