1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds hanger steak
1 cup finely chopped cooked collard greens
1 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, or more as needed
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or more to taste

Steps:

  • For Arnold's beef rub: Stir together the margarine, granulated garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl.

  • 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.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK



Grilled Hanger Steak image

Hanger steaks are not usually found at a grocery store, because they are not plentiful. On one whole piece of beef, there will only be one hanger steak. It's a meaty-tasting cut, with an open texture, and I found it at a butcher shop. We like it with a simple wet rub, but it is also tasty with only salt and pepper. It cooks really quickly, so be sure the rest of your meal is ready before you put it on the grill. We like it with simple sides, like a baked potato and a tossed salad.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds hanger steaks
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

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.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK



Grilled Hanger Steak image

My own invention. Hanger steak, or bistro steak, is a very tender cut, of which each cow has only one. If you don't have demi-glace, you can use 1 cup of beef broth plus 1 tbsp of a beef base (a bouillon-like paste).

Categories     Steak

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup fruity red wine
1/2 cup ruby port
1 cup demi-glace
2 lbs hanger steaks, trimmed
salt

GRILLED HANGER STEAK

Hanger steak is sliced into narrow, half-foot-long pieces, which are perfect for maneuvering around a small grill. Serve this with heavy-duty sides like potatoes and creamed spinach.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for grilling
2 pounds hanger steak
5 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • In a dish large enough to hold the meat, whisk together the wine, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, sugar, and pepper. Rub the meat with the garlic and place both in the marinade. Turn the meat to coat completely with the marinade. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Bring the meat to room temperature. Prepare an outdoor grill or heavy saute pan. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Generously salt and pepper both sides. Place on the hot grill, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Let the meat sit for at least 5 minutes before carving. This can also be cooked under the broiler.

GRILLED MARINATED HANGER STEAK



Grilled Marinated Hanger Steak image

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.

Time 8h25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup safflower oil

1 hanger steak (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), cut lengthwise into 2 strips and membrane removed
Coarse salt

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Hanger steaks are known for their bold flavor and tender texture. Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Hanger steaks should be cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and keep the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Hanger steaks are best cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness. Overcooking will make the steak tough and chewy.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.

Conclusion:

Grilled hanger steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your hanger steaks turn out perfect every time.
