GRILLED MARINATED HANGER STEAK

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.

  • Marinate the Steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. There are many different marinades to choose from, so find one that you like and let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the Steak Over High Heat: Hanger steak should be grilled over high heat to sear the outside and keep the inside juicy. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the Steak Rest: After grilling, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak and make it more tender.
