Thank you so much I'm a 14 year old girl who I have to cook for my stepdad and the others and this video showed up I'm learning how to cook so I don't need someone to do it for me and I appreciate your videos I subscribed thank you god bless you 🙏🏻❤

THANK YOU ARNIE!!!!!!....for the best ever comparison of fajita meats. For the past few years all I keep hearing about is "skirt steak". I just recently learned there are 2 types of skirts, the ones the restaurants serve(outside skirt), and the ones the grocery stores provide(inside skirt). I've tried the inside skirt 3-4 times, and tho it has a wonderful flavor, its just too chewy. Yes, I grilled hot/fast, cut across the grain. So, I recently found flank steak, and OMGosh. All the great succulent beef flavor, but no more shoe leather. This burning desire I have for grilling the perfect fajita meat came from a small local mex grocery store...taqueria???. The meat was already seasoned, super thin, but large sheets of meat. Wow, the best flavored fajita meat ever & I don't even kno wat type of meat it was.

I'm so glad I found your channel. This was so helpful and came at the perfect time. I've been experimenting with different cuts so this was awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

This is a valuable comparison for big fans of fajitas such as I am. I have access to quality outside skirt steak. I grill over mesquite and keep separate from the veggies. Some slices, I enjoy as a steak, some I mix with the veggies in tortilla. It is one of my favorite cuts, rivaling ribeye. I got family who prefer medium well done, and skirt steak is one of the cuts that fare well when cooked more than medium rare. I will venture into the other cuts that you've mentioned. Specially, hanger tender, also called butcher's steak. I've never had it in fajitas. Couple upscale restaurants around me use filet mignon, but I suspect hanger steak may work better, having stronger flavor, but also tender at the same time.

"Which one do I like the most? I like 'em all!" This man knows things.

All are great for us in H-Town but where’s the ice cold bottle of Shiner beer 🍺? 😬😎👍🏽

Hey man, love the straightforward nature of the channel , learned several things today! Thank you for passing along the info and deliciousness

Great video as always. I love fajitas. We typically use flank steak. I have seen the inside skirt in the store here, I'll give it a try next time. We also grill up a bunch of red, orange, and yellow peppers with onions and sliced jalapenos.

My BBQ knowledge just went up 💯 thanks Arnie 🙏 🔥 💨

I remember when skirt steak was 3.50 a lb at michoacana., then it went mainstream and now it's 10 dollars, more on a holiday weekend

You have executed an excellent presentation!! If your demo can make us hungry, you have done a fantastic job! Thank you for your expertise and video!

flap meat for me! i think that is the best cut. Thanks! Great Video.

I sure enjoy your channel. Growing up on more New Mexico style food some recipes are a bit different, but geez please keep sharing your cooking skills. Big fan.

I cannot contain my excitement! 😋

Good stuff brotha. Oh, and happy birthday!

Bout time someone with knowledge on arracherra thanks brother 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Watching from Canada vato loco

Man! I want to run that experiment for myself!!!! Out here in Tucson, they have a cut called an Ugly Steak, which is I think a trimmed Outer Skirt Steak; really expensive but really good. I've bounced around between flap, in/out skirt, Arrachera, and hangers and pretty much like them all, if cooked properly. Thanks for the breakdown. Fun to watch and loved the comparisons and explanations. Any time you want to run that experiment again, give me a call and I promise I will have plenty of beer for ya! Zk

I needed this video! Thanks for putting it out there. Now pass me a plate, please!

I hit it with the wow and use that same flippity method you are using but use the fat dripping, or the "juice" that has accumulated from the top side to baste another piece of fajita that has been flipped already. I just use my tongs to drag it over the next piece like a brush and it keeps everything nice and juicy , fatty . Sometimes I'll remember to keep a bigger piece of fat trimming and grill it alongside the fajitas to get that fire and smoke from the fat really jumping. And baste with it too.

Never run out of beer hahahahah..... skirt steak is what we use up here in way north Texas panhandle just bought some a few weeks ago after I saw your cookout for that company great vids always buying your rubs trying to get ya into champion bbq supply up here. Robbie won sca world steak cook-off maybe 2-3 years ago keep it up

Really made it shine , laughs after lol I love when you laughed man haha , them meats looking good man

In Chicago outer skirt steak is arrachera. And my favorite to cook for tacos. And yes it's very expensive. I remember like 10 years ago it used to be 3.99 a pound. Now it's like 10 where I live.

Very informative and entertaining

great video, Thank You

Panchos meat market in Houston has the best fajita in Texas

Making flap fajitas tomorrow. Thanks for the info!

Shout out @Arnie Tex #Puro Fajita Time #Eso Compadre #South Texas Style!

Tried flat iron steak for the 1st time ever, thought it wouldn't be good because of the name, but it made good fajitas. Instead of chewy it was tender though. I had to try them on my grillgrates, man those things are awesome 👌

Great Video 👍

Thanks for the video! Outside skirt aka entraña is really great. Funny thing is, that's the only one I can get here on a small island, and it is damn cheap too!

Ahhhh thanks for the video!!! Placing my order for my 3rd WOW bottle brother and I bought a shirt from you. If you can throw in a sample of the OG por favor thanks brother!! ❤️😎🔥

Great comparison. I usually buy flank, if available, otherwise inside skirt.

Spread the peace ✌️. God bless America

Lubbock Texas!!!

Wow you just made me very hungry 🤤

Now you have done and made me hungry. dang

Orale! Ya es tiempo para prender las parillas para hacer carne asada! Por El fin de semana

We call flap meat "Ranchera" in SoCal. it's the most popular for Carne Asada, it also go really expensive the past couple of years.

Im from Lubbock. cool that you were here

Flap for me my favorite

I always use the bavette. It's what all the good restaurants use too.

Enjoy watching your videos what city in Texas you say south Texas my wife is from mission

I've been seeing Waygu outside skirts at HEB up here in Austin. They're about twice the price of inside skirt.

With a gud appetite it's all fajita but up here in North Texas it's beef skirt.

All this time, I thought there was only one type of fajita. I've been schooled.

Definitely the most informative video I've ever seen on all of these cuts. Skirt steak does not exist here in CA(Socal). We also call the flap meat ranchera here. Ordered my first skirt based on this video. First time dealing with wild fork, but it seems promising.

I get outside skirt for $6.99/lb here in WV at a local meat market. Go figure. I'm not complaining, and I'm not telling where I get the outside skirt. The grocery stores around here sell inside skirt for between 14.99 and 21.99/lb. They don't carry outside skirt. I remember, in the late 90s, I worked in the Sun Harvest Farms meat market in McAllen, and we would sell inside skirt fajitas for $1.28/lb, and we would often have them on sale for $0.99/lb. My how times have changed.

Brilliance!!!

Al Pastor is the video I am waiting for and some Parillada

I always ask my butchers for the inside skirt steak for fajitas, Arnie.

Sweet puppy ❤

I'm pretty used to eating the inside skirt but I'm like you ,dame lo que sea! Beggers cant be picky!

Let’s fire it up I’m in Mcallen Tx.

Would you try to make Barbacoa

Thanks.

You just never know what the end result will be with a flank steak. Very unpredictable, you never know what you’ll get. The flap steak however… it’s always great. Every single time.

Where do you go for your meats. A favorite meat market or grocery store.

Where can i buy the og seasoning and whats the best seasoning youl recommend on fajita

Give him the flank steak 🥩

🔥

Arnie, have you been to a restaurant called Lupe Tortilla? Their fajitas taste like lime. I keep wondering how they marinate them to taste like that.

There is a wonderful cut of beef sold at a Carniceria a couple of blocks from my house. It looks like the hanger but they have it labeled in the case as "flatt steak". Two "t"s so I assumed it was just flap steak that the sign maker mis-heard when making the sign. Have you ever heard of a flatt steak? Whatever cut it actually is, I love to make both fajitas and carne asada tacos with it. If I ever move away or if the store ever closes, I'd like to be able to identify the exact cut and ask for it at another store with its proper name.

I'm voting the flap meat "ranchera" cut for #1 ! The hanger steak is good but the flap looks better in my opinion

What grill did you cook those on?

Any chance of a video on how and where to source your meats and ingredients?

I always get the toughest fajita meat in Cardenas in SoCal. What exactly is the best fajita meat?

Hi. Wonderful Do you have an special gravy for it? Recipe Thank you

Love your channel bro, wish I could cook like you, just wondering if you are the same Arnie that used hang around an old friend of mine, Albert Rangel?

Do you tenderize your skirt steaks? I have found by doing that the meat super tender.

Hey brother i live in mcallen. Where can i buy your seasoning.

fajitas arrachera

I want to buy some of the OG

Arnie where you from? Are you using charcoal or what are you using? Are you using an open pit? Should make a video how to barbecue.

So much delicious meat 😋😍

what kind of warming box do you use after cooking?

❤

I need to find a source of flap meat or outside skirt. Don't think I've even seen hangar anywhere

Our butcher sells it tenderized, I’m not sure if that’s good or not. What do you think?

I find it impossible to find outside skirt steak. Any suggestions as to where to find it?

I use whichever cut I can get

What part of STX are you from Arnie !?

Where can I buy that oG seasoning oG?

My preference is outside flap but it’s hard to get other than than I’ll use anyone of those cuts My ex wife called about a year ago and had visitors visiting for lunch, so she called me wanting to know a good light lunch. So I gave her my reciepe s She sourced the ingredients and called me in the morning. So I walked her thru the cooking processes, she had her lunch in and I heard nothing for many hours. Then around 11 pm my time I get a call from my ex, she told me she just got off the phone with her guests and from what I was told she asked her current husband what was his favorite meal of the day after going out to high end restaurants She said it was lunch. Filled me with joy, however I created a monster in my ex as she is trying to match this, well good luck with that as she can only cook from a box or a bag
