SIX-SPICE HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• Makes steaks:
• Preheat broiler and lightly oil rack of broiler pan.
• Finely grind spices with brown sugar and 11/2 tsp salt in grinder.
• Pat steak dry, then sprinkle evenly with spice mixture and rub into meat. Broil steak 2 to 3 inches from heat, turning once, 7 to 12 minutes for medium-rare. Let steak rest on a plate at least 10 minutes.
• Make sauce while steak rests:

MARINATED GRILLED HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the Dijon, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice and zest, and crushed red pepper. Schmear the steaks with this deliciousness and let them hang out in the fridge overnight or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
• Preheat the grill. Season the steaks with salt.
• When the grill is hot, brush and oil the grill. When the flames have dissipated place the steaks on a hot spot on the grill. Brush with the excess marinade and move the steaks out of the flame if there is a flare up. Grill the steak for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately after slicing.

ASIAN-MARINATED HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, ginger, garlic and vinegar together in a shallow dish with a lid or a large resealable plastic bag. Add the steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes to a few hours.
• When you're ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place on a broiler pan and broil to your preferred doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Let rest for 5 minutes, the slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.

BUTCHER'S STEAK (HANGER STEAK)

Steps:

• Remove all silver skin and extra fat from the steak. Carefully cut out the connective tissue that connects the 2 halves of the steak, separating the whole into 2 long pieces. Cut lobe of meat from one half (it's a piece that is slightly separated from the larger half). Then cut each of the 2 larger halves into 2 steaks each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat skillet over high heat. Add clarified butter when pan is hot, then place the steaks in the pan. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until browned on all sides, firm, and reddish-pink on the inside. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), a total of about 12 minutes. (This cut of meat has a sort of triangular shape, so about 4 minutes per side.) Transfer to a warm plate and tent with foil to let steaks rest and allow temperature to rise to 130 degrees F.
• Pour stock into skillet set over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. When brownings dissolve and liquid begins to reduce after 2 or 3 minutes, reduce heat to low. Add accumulated juices from the meat, balsamic vinegar, and butter chunks. Cook and stir until butter melts. If liquid has reduced too much, add a splash of broth. Taste to check if sauce needs a bit of salt.
• To serve, slice steaks and spoon pan sauce over them.

HANGER STEAK WITH OLIVE OIL AND HERBS

Steps:

• Combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and maple syrup. Coat steak with the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate 2 hours at room temperature.
• About an hour before serving, heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper, and roast crisp. Keep warm. Heat grill. Grill steaks. Set aside. Briefly sauté greens in a tablespoon of oil. Drain well. Place on dinner plates. Slice steaks and arrange on greens. Top with potatoes.
• Warm remaining oil in a small skillet, add herbs and lemon zest, and cook about 30 seconds, until herbs are fragrant. Pour herbs and oil over potatoes and steaks. Serve.

HANGER STEAK WITH BRANDIED CHERRIES

Steps:

• For the marinade:
• Combine the soy sauce, soy oil, balsamic vinegar, mirin, black peppercorns, sugar and salt in a blender and blend well. Mix with the garlic, thyme and rosemary.
• Pour the marinade over the steaks and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
• For the cherry sauce:
• Gently saute the shallots in half the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot until soft and translucent. Add the mustard and cook for one minute. Hold the pan away from the flame, add the brandy, and then return to the flame to ignite and flambe the shallots. When the flame dies down, add the cherries with their rehydrating liquid and the veal stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, and then stir in the remaining butter. Finish with the tarragon and lots of freshly cracked pepper.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add some oil. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute until nicely browned all around, about 7 minutes for medium rare. Remove and let rest for at least 2 minutes on a paper towel. Place the steaks on a large plate and ladle the sauce directly on top. Serve immediately.
