At the average grocery store (which the majority of the population shops at I have never seen any meat called Skirt Steak. Therefore, someone working in the meat dept. may not be familiar with the term. For a meat that the general grocery store meat dept personnel in unfamiliar with, try suggesting they go to a butcher instead of treating them like they are an idiot. You have the attitude that goes with many I have met in NY. Perhaps you should move out there and have your butt kicked for your smart mouth you bully. You are making OR look ugly...unfortunate as it is a very beautiful area and I have met many nice people there.

The flavor combination was fantastic! I used homemade chicken broth in place of the wine and beef broth. I will make this again and again. Thanks for the great recipe.

Very flavorable! Great for week night dinner - nice & fast and full of flavor.

To the person below who couldn't find skirt steak - it's impossible to believe you went to a Wegmans and asked anyone in the Meat Dept over the age of 17 what a skirt steak was and they didn't know. ALL of the Wegmans that are in this area carry skirt steak. In fact, last week when I bought another steak to make this recipe they were pulling the steaks off the shelf so they could Raise the price again.

To the person below...Nobody at the grocery stores knew what skirt steak was? Are you sure you said "SKIRT STEAK?" It's pretty common...Widely used in fajitas. You should not rate recipies unless you tried making them, not because you just couldn't find a certain cut of steak. You could have tried it with flank steak...If they even knew what that was.
Anyway, I made this recipe tonight and it was delicious. All made from ingredients common in your pantry. Simple to make as well and generally fool proof.

I am a newbie cook, trying to learn stuff watching the Food TV Channel. I happened upon this episode, called Steak Dinner, and a French Cut Steak Recipe, which featured a "skirt steak"!
I drove to a Wegmans Market and several local supermarkets and asked at the meat counter specifically for "1 lb of skirt steak", as per Melissa's recipe.
Nobody I asked, and I asked several people working in the meat departments at each location, had any knowledge of "skirt steak"!
So I gave this a 1 star recipe because I could not find the main ingredient and also because Melissa's recipe for Crispy Potato Cake did not include onions or garlic. C'mon! I am a cooking novice and even I know that potato alone will not cut it. I also add some hot pepper flakes when I do a Potato Cake. The perfect pairing wiht a Bloody Mary when serving up a dignamite breakfast. As for the kale, well, who the heck eats kale raw? Maybe a cow? I will give it a try however, because I dig Melissa and watch her shows every chance I get.
Anybody who wants to suggest another name for "skirt steak" please do so.
Thanks.

Nothing here is a Ten Dollar Dinner. Don't get me wrong the flavor is good. But the point of the show is $10.00 meals.Not sure where you are all from but the steak alone for 1.06 lb's was $9.75 alone and the onion was.75 cents. Not sure where she is filming but I guess New Jersey is way more exspensive.

I generally avoid steak because I invariably overcook it and ruin it. This 3-minutes-a-side came out perfectly medium rare. Even my husband, who says skirt steak is his least favorite cut of beef, rated it 4 stars! We are going to try it again using London Broil.

I made this as a Sunday night dinner this weekend. The flavors were AMAZING. I'm not confident in my steak cooking abilities, but this was literally fool proof. Make sure you only sear the meat on both sides for only 3 minutes. The resting is what really made the meat perfect.

I might put this over Salad with blue cheese next time. But 100% delicious, easy, and inexpensive.
