I grilled this beautifully marbled prime grade outside skirt last night and my wife thought it was too rich and fatty. I mean….wtf. After 30 years of marriage, I still can’t get her to just savor the delicious flavor that rendered beef fat provides to a cut of steak.

Looks great to me! although I have found sometimes with like wagyu and other really fatty cuts it helps to cook it past your normal medium rare. Maybe that was the issue?
I’m a lot like your wife but I can absolutely appreciate that.
After 30 years of marriage, you still can’t just let her like what she likes.
lol, that thing looks awesome. Some people just can’t appreciate the good stuff… but hey, that just means more for you.
Maybe the fat needed to be rendered down a little bit more you could have done like a mini reverse sear cooked it on indirect for a bit then let it cool off, then hit it with a hot sear
This is Reddit…soooooo…obviously divorce needs to be suggested as a remedy.

Who’s fatter u or her
I’m the one begging for marbled steak, my husband always gets us the lean one!
Not everyone likes marbling. Thats when you politely ask them to leave.
Or in this case serve her with papers.
My wife is the opposite. She loves the fatty bits
I don’t ever buy expensive cuts of steak. My wife won’t eat anything not cooked well done. I’ve learned to eat eye round steaks she thinks it’s all the same.
Outside skirt… and she didn’t appreciate it. Best cut on the cow
Let us see the finished product before we decide who to judge.
They’re entitled to their own opinions no matter how wrong
Its not too late for a new wife, or husband
It’s a nationality thing too, I notice USA prefers much more fatty/marbled cuts than the UK for instance.
More for you.
My wife is the same. She cuts the fat off of meat when she eats. Sometimes I look at her and say, “I don’t even know who you are anymore.”
My wife is like that, on the rare occasion we go out for steaks she will sit there and cut out every bit of fat off the steak before she eats.
She’s tired of you chasing skirt like that.

Where are the after pictures? How do we know she wasn’t right?
Tell her its Wagyu and how expensive it was but you managed to get discount
Unfortunately my wife would probably agree with her… but my wife has a texture issue with a lot of meats. If the meat feels “off”, like hard chicken breast, or bits of fat (also known as deliciousness) she won’t eat much. Wouldn’t take much to push her to eat vegetarian most of the time.
As someone who loves the flavor of fatty meat, it tears my stomach up.
The fatty is the taste and doesn’t let it dry
Most of the time I prefer fattier more flavorful cuts like ribeye and strip, but every now and then I do crave a good lean filet.
I’d love to help you settle this but I’d need a taste. Just a couple of bites. Half of it would do.
My husband is the same way. He won’t even indulge in chicken skin. If we have or I make fried chicken he will pull the skin off.
I don’t understand but I am not him. It could be a texture thing or maybe the taste is just unpleasant. I get it. I don’t like untoasted bread and peanut butter sandwiches are just too sticky in the mouth to eat. Tasty but, NO, on texture.
One of my daughters prefers cheap chuck to the American Wagyu brisket from Costco specifically because it is drier and chewier.
My wife’s the same way, at least I can allocate the extra money for her cheap cut of meat for mine to be better lol.
I’m ashamed to admit, but I’ve reached an age where rich, delicious, fatty cuts are starting to cause me major indigestion. Been shooting for decent marbling but avoiding amazing looking cuts like this one.
lol same man, same. I’ve made perfect briskets and she can’t eat it
I know people have a hard time grasping this concept but TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE.
I’d be contacting a divorce lawyer
Send me her share next time .
Well, I think your wife is too rich and fatty.
My mother is like that . Never happy about anything in her old age . Very loving ,but very bitchy too.
When we go over there I grill for them and always grill her a filet mignon cut trimmed by me. It’s the only meal she doesn’t complain about.
My wife gets the filet, I get the ribeye. My wife gets the flat, I get the point. My wife gets the flat abs, and I get the beer gut. Happy wife, happy life right?
