Best Broiled Hanger Steak Recipes

SIMPLE GRILLED HANGER STEAK WITH WORCESTERSHIRE, GARLIC, AND THYME

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, make a paste with the garlic, pepper, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Place the meat in a shallow vessel. Rub the paste over the meat. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and Worcestershire. Pour this mixture over the meat. Turn the meat to coat in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare a grill for high heat. (See notes above). Wipe off excess marinade. Season meat on both sides generously with salt and pepper. Grill over hot coals uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes a side until a thermometer registers 125ºF for medium rare or 135ºF for medium. Transfer meat to a board to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Reference the video above if you are having a hard time figuring out which way is against the grain - it's not always easy to tell.

PAN SEARED HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare the hanger steak (butcher's steak): Trim the excess fat and remove silverskin from the hanger steak.
• Once this is done, find the connective tissue and use your fillet knife to carefully cut around the connective tissue. Do this down one side first and remove the first half of your hanger steak(s).
• Trim the connective tendon from the second half so that you have the two long muscles. One side will have a lobe, remove that and set aside. Then, cut both of the two long muscles into half so that you'll be cooking up 5 pieces total.
• Heat a cast iron skillet (or large heavy bottomed skillet or frying pan that is also oven-safe) to medium-high heat with the extra virgin olive oil. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
• Season the trimmed hanger steaks with steak seasoning on all sides, then, once the oil in the frying pan is shimmering and just about to begin smoking add the steaks to the pan.
• Sear on all sides until golden browned, about 2-3 minutes per side, then add the pat of butter and spoon the melted butter over your hanger steaks.
• Transfer the pan into your oven to finish cooking until the steaks reach a minimum internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
• Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board or tray. Cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, thyme and crushed red pepper with olive oil to make a loose paste. Coat the hanger steaks with the paste and sprinkle generously with salt. Let marinate in the fridge overnight or up to 2 hours outside of the fridge.
• Preheat the grill.
• If the steaks have been marinated ahead, remove them from the fridge and let them come to room temperature.
• Grill the steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Let the steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice the steaks on the bias and serve immediately.
• Wine Pairing Suggestion: Bandol red

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.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• For Arnold's beef rub: Stir together the margarine, granulated garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl.
• For the hanger steak: Rub hanger steak night before with Arnold's beef rub on top side. Let set, refrigerated, overnight.
• For the collard green chimichurri: Add collard greens, parsley, olive oil, vinegar, horseradish, salt, sugar, pepper flakes, garlic and 1 cup water to a bowl. Stir and let sit, refrigerated, overnight. Taste and maybe add salt and more horseradish to taste.
• For the jalapeno cheese grits: Bring broth, cream and milk to a boil in a saucepan, then add grits. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir grits with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring every few minutes so grits don't stick, until grits start to soften, about 15 minutes. Add Gouda, Parmesan, butter, white pepper and jalapeno and continue to cook on low, stirring, until all cheese is melted and grits are soft and creamy, 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt to taste little at a time.
• Heat a charcoal grill for cooking with cherry wood chunks.
• Cook hanger steak on top of coals and cherry wood chunks until medium-rare. Thinly slice steak. Serve on jalapeno cheese grits and covered in collard green chimichurri sauce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest and juice and crushed red pepper. Schmear the steaks with this deliciousness, place in a shallow baking dish and let them hang out in the fridge at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the steaks with salt.
• When the grill is hot, brush it clean and oil the grates. When the flames have dissipated, place the steaks on a hot spot on the grill.

Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

GRILLED HANGER STEAKS WITH ROASTED GARLIC ROMESCO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the romesco sauce: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut off the top of the garlic just to expose the tips of the cloves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap tightly in foil and roast until the cloves are golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes. Open the foil and allow the garlic to cool until cool enough to handle, then scoop the cloves out using a fork or knife or squeeze the whole head with your hand, turning it upside down to release the cloves into a small bowl.
• Puree the bread, roasted peppers, almonds, vinegar, dill, parsley, basil, anchovies, tomato and roasted garlic pulp in a blender on high speed, just blending enough so that there is still some texture to the sauce. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the hanger steaks: Preheat a grill on high heat.
• Combine the chile powder, garlic powder, pepper and seafood seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle the steaks on all sides with salt, then rub with the spice mixture. Grill the hanger steak on all sides, rotating so the char is even, about 10 minutes for an internal temperature of 125 degrees F or medium-rare. Allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes.
• Carve the steaks by cutting large pieces against the grain. Serve with a squeeze of lime and the romesco sauce.

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.
