Grilled hanger steak is a flavorful and juicy cut of beef that is perfect for a summer cookout. It is a relatively inexpensive cut of meat, but it is packed with flavor. Hanger steak is best cooked over high heat, so it is important to have a good grill or a hot skillet. The key to cooking hanger steak is to not overcook it, as it will become tough. Medium-rare is the ideal doneness for hanger steak, as it will be tender and juicy.

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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar

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.

The hanger steak is a thick strip of meat from the underside of the beef cow. It hangs between the rib and the loin and is part of the diaphragm. It is similar to the skirt steak because it is full of flavor but can become tough if it is not prepared correctly. This can be a really nice cut of meat to serve your family without paying too much for it. I am going to give you detailed instructions on how to do just that. Enjoy!

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (6 ounce) hanger steaks - fat and silver skin trimmed
1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup canola oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup water
¼ cup white sugar
4 whole shallots
3 fluid ounces port wine
1 cup demi glace
½ cup butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Lightly cover the steaks with canola oil and season generously with salt and pepper; cover and place in refrigerator until ready to grill.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on about 1/3 of the grill surface.
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the green beans in the boiling water until heated through yet still firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the garlic and 1/4 cup of canola oil to the green beans and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Stir the water, sugar, and shallots together in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves; cover the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Drain the liquid and return the shallots to the pan. Add the port wine and demi glace to the saucepan and place over medium heat; cook until the liquid reduces to about half its original volume. Stir the butter into the mixture until it melts. Remove the pan from the heat. Season with salt as needed. Keep the saucepan covered until the steaks are prepared.
  • Spread the green beans onto the part of the grill prepared with aluminum foil and allow to finish cooking while grilling the steaks.
  • Cook the steaks until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Allow the steaks to rest 5 minutes before placing onto individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the steaks. Serve the green beans on the side.

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).

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Hanger steak is a flavorful and affordable cut of meat that is perfect for grilling. Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, honey, and ginger.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Hanger steak is best cooked over high heat so that it gets a nice sear on the outside and remains tender on the inside. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Hanger steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled hanger steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
