How do I cook the perfect bavette steak?
When cooked correctly, bavette can be a real show stopper. Many recipes recommend marinating the steak, to keep its deliciously tender texture.
Itās a good idea to note that bavette tends to have a thicker end and a thinner end, meaning the thin end will cook faster.
Bavette is best cooked over high heat, to ensure the moisture remains locked in. The French believe the best method is to sear the meat, cooking for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Is bavette steak the same as skirt?
Bavette and skirt cuts are very similar in appearance. Both have distinct features, including long muscle fibres, dark colour, and a long, thin shape.
The difference lies in the variation of English and French butchery. In the UK, these cuts are referred to as skirt or flank. However, the French have several names for these cuts. Bavette in particular gets its name from the translation of ābibā, which refers to its distinctive flat shape.
