Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for grilling
2 pounds hanger steak
5 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • In a dish large enough to hold the meat, whisk together the wine, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, sugar, and pepper. Rub the meat with the garlic and place both in the marinade. Turn the meat to coat completely with the marinade. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Bring the meat to room temperature. Prepare an outdoor grill or heavy saute pan. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Generously salt and pepper both sides. Place on the hot grill, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Let the meat sit for at least 5 minutes before carving. This can also be cooked under the broiler.

GRILLED MARINATED HANGER STEAK



Grilled Marinated Hanger Steak image

The long, relatively thin cut known as hanger steak may be labeled "butcher's steak," "bistro cut," or, if already cut lengthwise into two pieces, "steak strips." To prevent an overly chewy texture, hanger steak should be sliced thinly across the grain. This recipe can be doubled to feed a crowd or be used for sandwiches.

Time 8h25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup safflower oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 hanger steak (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), cut lengthwise into 2 strips and membrane removed
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Prep:Combine oil, vinegar, garlic, and pepper in a large shallow dish. Add steak, turning to coat. Refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to 8, turning once if possible. Remove steak from marinade, and discard marinade. Let steak stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Season very generously with salt and pepper.
  • Grill:Heat grill to medium-high. Grill steak, uncovered, rotating frequently, until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees for medium-rare or 130 degrees for medium, about 12 minutes total. Transfer steak to a cutting board, and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steak on the diagonal.

BUTCHER'S STEAK (HANGER STEAK)



Butcher's Steak (Hanger Steak) image

Butcher (or hanger) steak is great pan cooked, broiled, or grilled. It takes to marinades wonderfully, and really can be substituted for any cut of steak. Just be sure to take the time to trim it well.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2 pound) butcher's steak (hanger steak)
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon clarified butter
⅔ cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
salt to taste

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.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK



Grilled Hanger Steak image

Hanger steaks are not usually found at a grocery store, because they are not plentiful. On one whole piece of beef, there will only be one hanger steak. It's a meaty-tasting cut, with an open texture, and I found it at a butcher shop. We like it with a simple wet rub, but it is also tasty with only salt and pepper. It cooks really quickly, so be sure the rest of your meal is ready before you put it on the grill. We like it with simple sides, like a baked potato and a tossed salad.

Categories     Beef Steaks

Time 2h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds hanger steaks
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

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.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK



Grilled Hanger Steak image

My own invention. Hanger steak, or bistro steak, is a very tender cut, of which each cow has only one. If you don't have demi-glace, you can use 1 cup of beef broth plus 1 tbsp of a beef base (a bouillon-like paste).

Provided by DrGaellon

Categories     Steak

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup fruity red wine
1/2 cup ruby port
1 cup demi-glace
2 lbs hanger steaks, trimmed
salt
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak porcini mushrooms in enough very hot water to just cover. Soak at least 20 minutes.
  • Melt butter in skillet. Add onion and garlic and saute until tender. Remove mushrooms from liquid (reserve liquid) and dice. Add to skillet with red wine and port wine; bring to a boil and reduce volume by half.
  • Strain mushroom liquid through a coffee filter to remove grit. Pour sauce through a sieve; discard solids and return sauce to pan. Add mushroom liquid. Whisk in demi-glace. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Broil 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (128F internal temperature). Let stand 5 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Hanger steak is a flavorful and tender cut of beef that is perfect for broiling. It is important to choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick so that it will cook evenly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor. Be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Broil the steak over high heat: Broiling the steak over high heat will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Be sure to preheat your broiler for at least 5 minutes before cooking the steak.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness: The cooking time for hanger steak will vary depending on the thickness of the steak and how you like it cooked. A 1-inch thick steak will take about 8-10 minutes to cook to medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak to make sure it is cooked to your liking.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: After the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Broiled hanger steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can cook a hanger steak that is juicy, tender, and flavorful. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
