THRIFTY CHOICES FOR THE BARBECUE
BUTCHER’SCUTS
SKIRT STEAK
Also known as onglet or hanger
steak, this cut has an open-grained
texture and a great flavour. Much cheaper than
prime steaks such as rump and sirloin, it’s also
quick to cook on the barbecue. Marinate in the
fridge for a few hours with olive oil, ground
black pepper, slices of garlic, bashed thyme and
rosemary sprigs,plusa pinchofchilliflakes.
