Australian Wagyu Skirt Steak
Rich, beefy and exceptionally flavorful, Australian Wagyu skirt steak is one of our favorite cuts for high-heat grilling. With abundant BMS 8–9 marbling, it develops a beautiful char while remaining juicy and tender inside.
Choose from 1 lb or 6 lb packages of 8-9 BMS Australian Wagyu skirt steak. The 1 lb option includes one 1 lb package and the 6 lb option includes two approximately 3 lb packages for approximately 6 lbs total weight.
It's an excellent choice for carne asada, steak tacos, fajitas, rice bowls or simply sliced and served straight from the grill.
A Customer Favorite
In our own taste tests, Australian Wagyu skirt steak has consistently been one of our favorite cuts. The combination of intense beef flavor, abundant BMS 8–9 marbling and exceptional tenderness makes this a completely different experience from an ordinary skirt steak.
How to Cook Australian Wagyu Skirt Steak
-
- Season generously with carne asada seasoning or your favorite steak seasoning.
- Preheat your grill to very high heat.
- Grill for approximately 2–3 minutes per side, cooking to about 125°F internal temperature for medium-rare.
- The rich Wagyu marbling will render quickly and may cause flare-ups. These flames help create an excellent char, but keep a close eye on the steak while grilling.
- Remove from the grill and allow the steak to rest briefly.
- Thinly slice against the grain before serving.
The Most Important Step: Slice Against the Grain
Skirt steak has long, pronounced muscle fibers. Before slicing, look closely at the direction those fibers run. Cut across the grain—not parallel with it—and slice thinly.
This shortens the muscle fibers and creates a much more tender bite. How you slice skirt steak is just as important as how you cook it.
Why Choose Our Australian Wagyu?
Our premium Australian Wagyu is raised in Darling Downs, Queensland, Australia and produced by Stockyard Beef. The cattle are carefully raised under strict animal-welfare standards and graded using the Meat Standards Australia quality system for attributes including tenderness, juiciness and flavor.
The cattle begin on grass before transitioning to an extended grain-finishing program of Australian barley and wheat. No corn is used. This feeding program helps develop the rich, evenly distributed marbling and distinctive flavor that make Australian Wagyu exceptional.
Feeding Program
Specialist Japanese nutritionists help formulate the high-energy feeding program used for our premium Australian Wagyu. Australian barley and wheat are used rather than corn, and our Australian Wagyu is HGP (Hormone Growth Promotant) Free.
The extended grain-finishing program encourages consistent intramuscular marbling, tenderness, juiciness and a rich beef flavor in every bite.

- There is no "guaranteed delivery time." FedEx provides a courtesy estimated delivery time with your tracking number. But do not be alarmed if your package arrives later in the day or the next day. Depending on your location, or during busy holiday seasons, your package can arrive later in the day or the next day. If shipping to a business, please make arrangements if it is closed during lunch hours.
- We ship everywhere in the USA and Canada. Hawaii requires an additional $45.00 delivery charge. To place a Canadian order, please contact our customer service office
- We do not suggest shipping to a business address unless it is open until 8pm your local time and on Saturdays. FedEx can deliver packages as late as 8pm and if there is a delay they can deliver on Saturdays as well.
- Unlike a lot of seafood companies, we are actually located in ALASKA and therefore are subject to extreme weather conditions. During colder seasons, please be mindful of this. In most cases, your package will arrive in perfect condition. However, if your package is held up along the way due to foul weather conditions, neither we nor FedEx will be held liable.
- Special Events: When planning your special event, waiting until the last minute is not a good plan. Place your order early and we will arrange specific delivery dates. We can make suggestions for your important event based on the best seasonal selections available.
- Holidays: We understand that the season of giving is often a busy and challenging time. Because you are selecting perishable seafood for your celebration or as a gift, we urge you to notify your recipient and confirm they will be home during the expected delivery time. It can still be an item of surprise, but because a signature is not required (in most cases), some people are not looking for their surprise package and will let the box sit outside for an extended amount of time, leaving the items to thaw and spoil. In this event we will not be held liable for spoiled packages

We reserve the right to conduct an investigation into claims that are potentially fraudulent. Please do not discard any packaging until you are completely satisfied with the product. On occasion, Great Alaska Seafood may deem it necessary to have the purchaser provide photographs to better resolve the issue.
