Watching master chef last night and one of the contestants cooked this, what is it exactly? Thank you.

The skirt is the animal's diaphragm.The parietal pleura lines the thoracic surface. The peritoneum lines the abdominal surface. Both membranes can be partially separated from the muscle and a variety of stuffing inserted before stewing.

''Hanger beef'' is derived from the muscles known as the ''Pillars of the Diaphragm'' their contraction facilitates respiration.
