Categories     main-dish

Time 10h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups grapeseed oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons diced seeded jalapenos
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 2 limes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 pounds skirt steak
Roasted carrots and yucca, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the grapeseed oil, parsley, vinegar, jalapenos, chile flakes, garlic, lime juice and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Set aside 1/2 cup of the chimichurri sauce for marinating the steak; reserve the remaining sauce for serving.
  • Tenderize the skirt steak by pounding it lightly. Sprinkle the steak with kosher salt and black pepper, keeping in mind that there is salt and pepper in the marinade. Transfer to a bowl or dish and add the 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce. Marinate, refrigerated, at least 10 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to cook the steak, heat a grill or saute pan to medium heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (discard the marinade). Grill the steak to medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side, or cook to desired temperature or doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing in thin strips on the bias.
  • Put some steak slices on each plate and spoon over the reserved chimichurri. Serve with roasted carrots and roasted yucca or your favorite vegetable and starch. Enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Two 8-ounce hanger steaks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup vegetable oil
4 very ripe, black plantains, peeled and cut on the bias into 1/2-inch pieces
Garlic salt, for seasoning

Steps:

  • For the blackened hanger steak: Mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cayenne, chili powder and black pepper in a bowl. Rub the mixture over the hanger steaks and put the steaks on a wire-racked baking sheet. Place in the fridge overnight.
  • For the chimichurri sauce: In a food processor, add the parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar and garlic. Pulse until combined but still a bit coarse, about 10 pulses. Add in the crushed red pepper, and then slowly drizzle in the oil and pulse about 5 more times. Season with salt and pepper and set aside for the flavors to meld. (The chimichurri can be made up to 3 days in advance.)
  • For the sweet fried plantains: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the plantains in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side until dark brown. Using a spider, remove the plantains and drain on paper towels. Season with garlic salt when still hot.
  • To cook the steaks, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and sear all 4 sides of the hanger steaks until crusty and dark, 4 to 5 minutes each side. The steaks are done when an instant-read thermometer reads 135 degrees F. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds boneless strip loin steaks, each 1 1/2 inches thick
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 150 degrees. On stovetop, heat cast-iron skillet to very hot. Brush steaks with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Sear steaks in skillet very briefly, less than a minute a side, just enough to brown. Place meat in a baking dish in oven for 1 1/2 hours.
  • For chimichurri, combine parsley, thyme, garlic and shallot in food processor and pulse until minced. Transfer to a bowl, add vinegar, paprika and 5 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat remaining oil in skillet used for meat, add mushrooms and sauté until wilted. Season with salt. Set aside.
  • When steaks are done, slice and place on a platter. Reheat mushrooms, remove from heat, toss with chimichurri and arrange alongside steak.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients for the best results. Look for well-marbled hanger steaks and use a high-quality olive oil for the chimichurri sauce.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs helps tenderize and flavor it. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Hanger steak is best cooked over high heat to get a nice sear on the outside while leaving the inside medium-rare. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the chimichurri sauce: While the steak is cooking, make the chimichurri sauce. Combine fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Chimichurri hanger steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of flavorful hanger steak, tangy chimichurri sauce, and crispy potatoes is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new steak recipe, give this one a try!
