I looked up skirt steak before I bought the meat and the description sounded like it would be tender. Funny, I paid more for this cut of meat than I paid for sirloin.
Same with similar cuts like brisket. Years ago they were considered "low-class" cuts, but for the past several years people act like they're fillets or something. I heard it's because people in the US are adopting a lot more foreign recipes lately, and getting recipes off the internet and there's a big following of "foodies" wanting to be good chefs at home.
It is commonly grilled, though I haven't tried it. I think the thinness and course texture allows it to become more tender when grilled, especially when cut perpindicular to the grain.
