Did the 8hr skirt steak today although it turned out to be about 10.5hrs because I just put it in before I left this morning.
Eating it now. Initial thoughts are it's pretty tender but almost to much. Like it kinda disintegrates in your mouth. Not melt but like a grainy melt because it isn't dry either.
Granted I did marinate it in bad so any one of my ingredients could have had a reaction resulting in the texture. I really don't see the need to go 24hr although it was my intention with the second steak I had. But I'm really not seeing how it would make it better. Feel like it would just be mushy.
Overall, I think i prefer it on the grill because i think one of my favorite parts about skirt steak is it's somewhat chewy so you get that extra time with the meat goodness.
Maybe I'll try two hours next time but don't think I'd do 8 again unless I happen upon a surplus of skirt steak and I'd throw a sliver in unmarinated for testing purposes
Edit: fiancé says she loves the texture but she doesn't prefer skirt because she says it's normally too chewy. But she also cuts around all the fat like even if it's just a thick vein to the point where I won't even buy her Ribeyes anymore so her opinion is not valid in this argument
