Skirt steak is cut from the plate of the cow. The plate is located in between the brisket and the flank on the cow's stomach.
The main difference between inside and outside skirt steak is their location on the cow. Inside skirt steak comes from the diaphragm muscle inside the rib cage, while outside skirt steak comes from the plate section of the cow. Inside skirt steak is typically more tender and has a more uniform thickness, while outside skirt steak is known for its intense beefy flavor but can be tougher.
Skirt steak and outside skirt steak come from different parts of the cow. Skirt steak is from the diaphragm muscle, while outside skirt steak is from the plate section. Outside skirt steak is generally more tender and has a more intense beef flavor compared to skirt steak. Skirt steak is leaner and can be tougher, but both cuts can be delicious when cooked properly.
Outside skirt steak is tougher than inside skirt steak.
Flat iron steak comes from the Chuck part of the cow.
Do you mean skirt steak? A skirt steak is a lesser cut. It is the cow's diaphragm muscle, and is cut from the flank. It is a long, flat piece of meat, with a tendency toward toughness. But it has good flavor. It can be grilled or pan fried quickly with good results. Another traditional method is to stuff it, roll it, and braise it. The skirt steak is often used to make fajitas.

Some delicious recipes featuring inner skirt steak as the main ingredient include grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce, skirt steak fajitas, and Korean-style marinated skirt steak.
Flank steak comes from the abdominal area of the cow. It is often used in London broil, stir-fry, and in Fajitas (substituting skirt steak). To maximize tenderness, the meat is best cut against the grain.
Cooking a steak with the skirt inside the skirt means the meat is cooked with the fat cap on, which can add flavor and moisture to the steak. Cooking a steak with the skirt outside the skirt means the fat cap is removed before cooking, resulting in a leaner steak with a different texture.
