How To Cook Hanger Steak Food

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.

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.

HOW TO COOK HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• Remove steaks from packaging and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rub steaks on each side with olive oil. In a small bowl, stir together salt, white pepper, and black pepper. Rub onto both sides of steak.
• Get an oven safe skillet heating over high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of the butter and let melt. Add in steaks and sear 2 to 3 minutes each side. Add in remaining butter and let it melt as the meat sears, using a spoon to baste the top side of the steak with the butter as it sears.
• Once seared, place the skillet into the oven and cook until steak reaches an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove steaks from oven and pan and let rest 10 minutes before serving. The internal temperature will continue to rise giving you a perfect medium-rare.

HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• In a bowl, start the marinade for the hangar steak by blending the oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper blend and lemon juice and whisk together well. Place the steak in an 8 by 12-inch casserole pan and generously coat with the marinade. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour under refrigeration.
• For cooking, preheat a grill or chargrill over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, straining any excess marinade. Removal of the excess marinade will prevent flaming or charring of the steak during cooking. Place the steak on the grill and cook over high heat, 8 to 9 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.
• Remove from the grill and allow the steak to rest before slicing. Slice the steak on the bias, top to bottom, against the grain, 1/4 inches thick. Place the sliced steak over potatoes and serve.

HANGER STEAK WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Whisk together 1/4 cup oil, the vinegar, garlic, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a large glass dish. Place steak in dish; turn to coat with marinade. Let steak marinate, turning once, 20 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook, stirring often, until just golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Season with salt. Cook, adding 1/4 cup water in batches as needed to keep shallots from sticking, until tender and caramelized, 15 to 18 minutes.Transfer shallots to a plate.
• Wipe out skillet. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Cook steak, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees (for medium-rare), 10 to 12 minutes per side. Tent with foil; let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Season with pepper.
• Meanwhile, wipe out skillet; reheat shallots over medium heat. Thinly slice steak. Serve with shallots and mustard.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• Trim away fat and membrane from the surface of the steak about 2 hours before cooking time. If the hanger steak is whole, gently tease the meat away from the long center sinew and discard it in order to create 2 long, thin steak pieces. Place trimmed steaks in a non-reactive baking dish.
• Combine Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Rub spice mix over all the surfaces of the steak.
• Cover steak with aluminum foil and allow to stand at room temperature for about 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Rub the steaks with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
• When the cooking grates are hot, place oiled steak onto the grate and cook steaks until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side (medium-rare). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove from the grill and tent with foil to allow residual heat to bring internal temperature up to 135 degrees F (57 degrees C).
• Slice about 1/4 inch thick, across the steaks, and serve warm.

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.
