By raising our own beef, one of the many benifits is being able to sample every single cut of beef there is. Hanger steak has become one of my favorites, it's just so versitle and quick and easy to prepare.
This recipe for grilled {indoor} Hanger steak came to me courtesy Iron Chef Marc Forgioni and T-fal. If its already become chilly in your area, you can grill all winter long using the new T-Fal OptiGrill available at Bed Bath & Beyond in October.
A hanger steak is a cut of beef steak prized for its flavor. Derived from the diaphragm of a steer or heifer, it typically weighs about 1.0 to 1.5 lb. In the past, it was sometimes known as "butcher's steak" because butchers would often keep it for themselves rather than offer it for sale.
Hanger steak resembles flank steak in texture and flavor.
What's your favorite cut of beef??
