Method
Steak Marinade
- 1
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed. Place the hangar steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Fried Polenta Sticks

Prepare Polenta
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the polenta and salt, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring often, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
