Prepare the Steak
Season the hanger steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Sear the Steak
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Make the Sauce
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Carefully add cognac and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add heavy cream and let simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
