Garlicky Herb-Rubbed Hanger Steaks image

Chef Shea Gallante of Cru in New York City based this recipe on a classic Florentine dish called "bistecca alla fiorentina"- a thick T-bone grilled rare over hot coals. Here, Gallante substitutes cheaper but equally flavorful hanger steak- which he thinks is an underrated cut- and rubs the meat with dried herbs, garlic and paprika before cooking it. From the June 2005 issue of Food & Wine. Preparation time does not include time to marinate.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and minced
3 lbs hanger steaks
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
olive oil, for drizzling
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a mini food processor or spice grinder, combine the dried thyme with the dried rosemary, marjoram and oregano and blend the herbs until a powder forms.
  • On a work surface, rub the minced garlic cloves all over the hanger steaks and sprinkle them with the sweet paprika.
  • Dust the steaks with the powdered herbs, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Let the steaks stand at room temperature for 1 hour before proceeding.
  • Light a grill.
  • Drizzle the steaks all over with olive oil and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the steaks over a medium-high fire until they are charred on the outside and medium-rare on the inside, about 12 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the steaks to a carving board to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Working from both sides and using a sharp knife, slice the steaks against the grain until you reach the strip of gristle in the center- Discard the gristle.
  • Arrange the slices on a platter and serve.
