Best 3 Agrodolce Sauce Recipe Hanger Steak Recipes

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.

HANGER STEAKS WITH GINGER-CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper and sear in the skillet, turning once, until cooked to your desired doneness (about 6 minutes per side for medium). Let the cooked steaks rest on a plate for about 10 minutes before slicing.
• While the steaks are cooking, in the bowl of a food processor combine the cranberries, honey, orange zest and juice, rosemary and ginger. Pulse the machine 15 to 20 times to coarsely chop and combine all of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve the cranberry sauce.
• Serve the steaks by thinly slicing them against the grain and garnishing with the reserved cranberry sauce.
