Best Hanger Steak With Grilled Salsa Recipes

SEARED HANGER STEAK WITH SALSA PICANTE

Steps:

• To tenderize the steak, poke the steak throughout with a fork or meat prongs. With a sharp knife, cut out and discard the sinew in the center of the steak. Season liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear each side, about 3 minutes per side.
• To make the salsa, cut the onions into rings. Slice the chilies and garlic. Add onions to the pan with the steak, season with salt and pepper.
• Add the chilies to the pan, and add a little more olive oil, if necessary. After a few minutes, add the garlic to the pan. Drizzle with the vinegar. Continue to cook the steak until it is medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes. Rest the steak on a cutting board for about 10 minutes. Slice against the grain, season with more salt, pepper and olive oil if desired, and serve with the salsa picante.

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.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK WITH BRANDIED GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Bring a large cast-iron grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Pat the steak dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil. Place the steak into the pan and sear until browned (without moving the steak), 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the steak over and cook a further 3 to 4 minutes on the second side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the pan and add to a cast-iron pan. Put the steak into the oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking through. Remove from the oven and set aside to rest on a plate while you prepare the sauce.
• Place the cast-iron pan over medium heat and add the oil to heat. Once heated, add the shallots to the pan. Saute until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the thyme leaves, and then remove the pan from flame (for safety purposes) and add the brandy. Ignite the brandy by returning to the stove top and tilting the pan toward the open flame, or carefully lighting with a lighter or match. Once the flames subside, add the cream and swirl to incorporate. Add the peppercorns and simmer the sauce until it has reduced by two-thirds to a smooth, slightly thick consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Add any pan drippings to the sauce. Season with salt, if needed. To finish, remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter.
• To serve, slice the rested hanger steak into 1/2-inch strips, against the grain, and serve with a drizzle of brandied green peppercorn sauce over the top.
