Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hanger Steak

    Season the hanger steak with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over high heat and cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Kale

    In a separate pot, bring a small amount of water to a boil. Add the kale and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cannellini Beans

    Rinse and drain the can of cannellini beans. In a small pot, heat the beans over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Char the Green Onions

    On the grill or in a skillet, char the green onions for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender and have grill marks.

  6. 6

    Make the Molcajete Salsa

    In a molcajete or blender, combine ripe tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, garlic, salt, and a squeeze of lime juice. Mash or blend until desired consistency is reached.

  7. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the hanger steak and arrange on a plate. Add the sautéed mushrooms, cooked kale, warmed cannellini beans, charred green onions, and a lime wedge. Spoon the molcajete salsa over the steak.
