One of the most coveted pieces of meat from the steer, the hanger steak is also known as the “butcher’s steak” because butchers would often keep it for themselves. It is a long, thin cut of meat similar to a skirt steak that is extremely tender and packed with beef flavor. When it comes to cooking hanger steak, salt, pepper, a high heat and dry meat are the keys to your success. Try using a blazing hot grill or a sizzling cast-iron skillet for the best steak ever.
