Grilled Hanger Steak Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Season the hanger steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.

2. 2

   Make the Blue Cheese Butter

   In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and crumbled blue cheese. Mix well and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon and Sweet Potato Hash

   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

4. 4

   Sauté the Vegetables

   Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent.

5. 5

   Combine Hash Ingredients

   Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and crispy.

6. 6

   Grill the Steak

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the grill grates. Grill the hanger steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

7. 7

   Make the Red Wine Gastrique

   In a small saucepan, combine the red wine, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until reduced by half. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add to the gastrique to thicken. Stir until combined.

8. 8

   Sauté the Greens

   In a separate pan, quickly sauté the spinach or mixed greens over medium heat until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

9. 9

   Serve

   Slice the grilled hanger steak against the grain and serve on a plate with a generous serving of bacon sweet potato hash, wilted greens, a dollop of blue cheese butter, and drizzle the red wine gastrique over the top.
