HANGER STEAK TACOS WITH CILANTRO-LIME CREMA AND CHARRED LIMES



Hanger Steak Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Crema and Charred Limes image

Provided by Elena Besser

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds hanger steak, cut into 4 pieces, center membrane removed
1 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 limes, halved
2 bunches fresh cilantro
1 cup sour cream
1 clove garlic
12 corn tortillas
1 teaspoon chile-lime seasoning, such as Tajin, optional

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steaks with the chile flakes and some salt and pepper and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the skillet starts to smoke, add the steaks, raise the heat slightly and cook, rotating the steaks every 2 to 3 minutes to make sure they have an even char on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes total. Set the steaks aside, uncovered, to rest. This allows all the juices to redistribute into the steak.
  • Wipe out the skillet and set it over medium-high heat. Add 2 of the lime halves to the skillet cut-side down and cook until heavily charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside for serving.
  • Combine 1 bunch of the cilantro, the juice of the remaining lime halves, some salt and pepper and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a food processor and process until a paste forms.
  • Add the sour cream to a medium bowl and grate in the garlic with a rasp grater. Gently fold in the cilantro paste. Set aside.
  • Over an open flame, heat the tortillas 3 at a time for 20 to 30 seconds on each side.
  • Slice the steak against the grain. Spread the sour cream mixture on a wide platter and arrange the sliced steak on top. Garnish with the grilled lime halves and remaining cilantro and sprinkle with the chile-lime seasoning if using. Serve with the tortillas.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ lb top sirloin steak
pico de gallo, or salsa of your choice
4 corn tortillas
1 ripe avocado
⅓ cup fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons lime juice
⅔ cup water
salt, to taste
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice, or 1 lime

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.

  • Assemble the tacos:
  • Warm tortillas in a microwave, oven, or over a gas flame. Divide steak among tortillas, then top with salsa, avocado, sour cream, queso fresco, if using, cilantro, and onion. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

Time 44m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
¼ cup finely ground dark roast coffee beans
¼ cup ground ancho chile pepper
¼ cup brown sugar
2 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons hot smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 pound hanger steak
salt to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 shallots, halved
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon butter, cut in small pieces
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons honey
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bulb fennel, halved
½ lemon, juiced
½ apple, cut into matchstick-size pieces
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste
¼ cup pomegranate seeds
2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Cook and stir fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds in a skillet over medium-high heat until toasted and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or food processor; add coffee, ancho chile pepper, brown sugar, kosher salt, paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Grind until spice rub is a medium-coarse texture.
  • Break steak down into 4-ounce pieces. Lightly score steak 1/2-inch x 1/2-inch and season with salt. Rub steak with spice rub. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high. Pack spice rub onto all sides of the steak and place in the hot cast iron skillet; drizzle about 1 teaspoon olive oil over steak.
  • Cook steak in the cast iron skillet until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and scatter shallots, smashed garlic, thyme, and butter around steak. Cook steak until desired doneness is reached, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Let steak rest for 5 minutes; cut into thin slices.
  • Whisk juice of 1 lemon, lemon zest, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl until dressing is evenly mixed.
  • Thinly shave fennel and toss with juice from 1/2 lemon (to preserve color) in a bowl. Add apple, mint, parsley, and cilantro. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently; season with salt and pepper. Arrange steak slices on top of salad and scatter roasted shallots, pomegranate seeds, and hazelnuts on top.
