Hanger steak
Hanger steak is a cut of beef that is often overlooked, but it is a delicious and relatively inexpensive option for a steak dinner. The hanger steak is also known as the butcher's steak because it was traditionally given to the butcher as a thank you for trimming the other cuts of meat.
Hanger steak is a tender cut of meat that is best cooked quickly over high heat. It can be grilled, pan-fried, or broiled. Hanger steak is delicious when served with a flavorful sauce, such as a bordelaise or peppercorn sauce.
Hanger steak is believed to originate from France, where it is known as onglet. The French word "onglet" refers to the strip of meat that hangs from the diaphragm of the cow. In France, hanger steak is a popular cut of meat for steak frites (beef steak with french fries).
Advice
When making hanger steak, it is important to season the steak generously with salt and pepper before cooking. Also, it is best to use a cast iron skillet to get the best sear and flavor. Make sure the steak is cooked to medium-rare for optimal tenderness. Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to ensure all of the juices are retained. Lastly, be sure to slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
