Best Seared Hanger Steak With Green Beans Black Olives And Lemon Recipes
SEARED HANGER STEAK WITH RED ONION RINGS
This is a simple recipe that makes everyone hungry. It's a good feeling to make your own onion rings and watch as people crunch down on them as they cut into this tasty steak. I serve the meat with a little vinegar so the onion rings get a salt and vinegar vibe when you eat the two parts of the dish together. This is not the type of dish that can be made in advance and held, so get everything ready and cook the meat and onion rings when you are ready to eat!

Steps:
- Prepare the batter: Pour the beer into a medium bowl and stir in the vodka and sparkling water. Slowly whisk in the baking soda, paprika and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. The batter should be fairly thick but also easy to stir. If it's a little loose, whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup at a time. If it's too thick, add a splash of water. Do not overmix. Set aside in a warm place for at least 15 minutes.
- Get ready to fry: Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil slowly to 375 degrees F. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel to drain the onion rings once they are cooked.
- Cook the steak: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the oil. When it begins to smoke lightly, season the steak with salt and use a pair of metal tongs to gingerly place the steak in the hot oil. Cook, 4 to 5 minutes, on each side.
- Doneness: If using a meat thermometer, rare registers between 125 and 130 degrees F. For medium rare, 130 to 135 degrees F; and between 135 and 140 degrees F for medium. If you like your steak a little more cooked, leave it in the pan a few minutes longer on each side. Let it rest on a flat surface and cover with foil to keep warm while you make the onion rings.
- Fry the onion rings: Test the batter and the temperature of the oil at the same time by dipping an onion round into the batter, gently shaking off the excess batter and carefully plunging it into the oil. Fry until crispy, 1 to 2 minutes, and remove it from the oil carefully with a slotted spoon. Fry the onion rounds in small batches, draining them on the kitchen towel-lined baking sheet. Salt immediately.
- Serve: Slice the steak into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, season with salt and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Arrange on a serving platter with all the cooking juices and serve with the onion rings in a bowl on the side.
SEARED STEAK AND GREEN BEANS WITH HERBED BUTTER
Steps:
- For the herbed butter: Add the butter, chives, oregano, parsley, lemon zest, garlic and some salt and pepper to a bowl and mix together well.
- Put the butter in the center of a piece of plastic wrap and, using the plastic wrap, form it into a sausage shape. Seal it and pop it in the fridge for 1 hour.
- For the steak: Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Fill a saucepan with some water, add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. This is for cooking the string beans so it's all ready at the same time.
- Season both sides of the steak well with the chopped rosemary and some salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the oil and allow it to heat up for 1 more minute. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove to a plate, cover with a piece of aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
- For the green beans: Meanwhile, add the green beans to the salted boiling water and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well.
- When ready to serve, toss the green beans with about 2 tablespoons of the herbed butter. Slice the steak and top with a piece of the herbed butter.
