Ingredients

Four 4- to 6-ounce hanger steaks, trimmed of fat and silver skin
2 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard powder
2 1/2 teaspoons smoked or sweet paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound baby bell sweet peppers
4 ounces shishito peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons diced habanero chiles, seeds removed
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon minced pickled cherry peppers plus 4 pickled cherry peppers, drained and quartered
1 tablespoon chardonnay vinegar
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon brine from pickled cherry peppers plus 1 tablespoon minced pickled cherry peppers
1/4 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Steps:

For the steak: Place the steaks on a parchment-lined sheet pan. In a small bowl, mix the mustard powder, paprika, salt, chili powder and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture all over the steaks. Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
Make the charred peppers: Heat a large braiser or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until searing hot. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the baby bell sweet and shishito peppers with the olive oil, habaneros, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Add the pepper mixture to the braiser and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until charred in spots and tender but still with some bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
Make the vinaigrette: While the peppers are cooking, in a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, pickled peppers, vinegar, red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Once the charred pepper mixture is cooked, add them to the vinaigrette along with the quartered pickled peppers. Toss to coat well and set aside.
Make the aioli: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, pepper brine, cherry peppers, paprika, garlic and salt to taste. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Cook the steaks: Preheat a grill pan or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks on the grill pan or grill, flipping only once, for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until an instant-read thermometer registers between 120 to 125 degrees F. Allow the meat to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Slice the meat against the grain to ensure tenderness. Sprinkle with the basil, chives and thyme. Serve with the charred peppers and smoky oli.

HANGER STEAK WITH TANGY TOMATO RELISH

Hanger Steak With Tangy Tomato Relish image

Hanger steak is the king of what I call weeknight steaks, casual cuts of leanish meat that deliver delicious flavor without a lot of expense or fuss. The skinny strip of flesh tastes best cooked hard and fast, for a crispy char on the outside, and left nice and pink inside. Slice it with a significant slant across the grain for the best eating texture. If you can find a grass-finished hanger steak, you'll get leaner meat and a higher proportion of healthy lipids, such as omega-3s and CLAs. The bad news: hanger steak-or onglet, as it is sometimes known-can be hard to find. Even my regular butcher runs out somewhat frequently. Don't fret-just substitute flank steak.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds hanger steak (about 2 pieces), center membrane removed, or flank steak
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil
Flaky sea salt (optional)
Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish
Tangy tomato relish, recipe follows
Tangy Tomato Relish
2 14-ounce cans cherry tomatoes, drained, or three cups fresh
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, such as Aleppo or Marash
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

For the Steak
Season the hanger steak with fine sea salt and pepper. Let steak sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
Heat the oil in a heavy 9-or 10-inch skillet over high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the steak to the pan and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides and an instant-read thermometer registers 130˚F for medium-rare, 7 to 8 minutes total.
Let the steak rest at least 10 minutes, then slice it on a diagonal. Season with flaky sea salt, if desired, and serve with parsley leaves and tomato relish.
For the Tangy Tomato Relish
Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
Toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and spread them in a single layer in a baking dish. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and roast until the tomatoes are crinkled and browned and any liquid in the pan is reduced, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
In a wide nonreactive saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium- high heat. Add the mustard seeds and cook until they pop, about 30 seconds. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened, about 3 minutes. Add the roasted tomatoes and stir to combine, but take care to keep the tomatoes intact. Add the orange juice and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring gently, until the juices have thickened to a jammy consistency, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
