Hanger Steaks

Store raw steak tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. Cooked steak should be stored in an airtight container.

Marinate hanger steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to enhance its flavor and tenderness.

Sear hanger steak over high heat for a perfect crust, then finish cooking to your desired doneness (medium-rare is often recommended).

Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness, as hanger steak has a prominent grain.

Consider grilling or pan-searing this cut for best results.

Chimichurri sauce

Garlic butter

Roasted potatoes or fries

Arugula salad with a lemon vinaigrette

Sautéed mushrooms and onions

Overcooking: Hanger steak is best enjoyed medium-rare to medium to retain its juiciness and tenderness.

Slicing with the grain: Always slice against the grain to break up the muscle fibers and achieve a more tender bite.

Not marinating: While delicious on its own, a marinade can significantly improve the flavor and texture of hanger steak.
