Grilled Hanger Steaks
Recipe for Grilling Hanger Steaks on Grilla Kong
This steak is cut from the belly of the cow. It’s typically sold as one whole piece weighing on average 3lbs.
There’s a thick layer of connective tissue holding the hanger steak together, so you’ll want to remove this creating 2 separate steaks. Also, trim away any excess silver skin or fat.
Now you can season these just like any steak. I keep the recipe simple; a good coarse steak rub followed by a quick sear on all sides over hot coals.
When the internal of the hanger steak reaches 120-125 in the center of each steak, it’s time to get it off. This is when a digital thermometer like a Thermapen comes in handy.
You always need to let a hanger steak rest for at least 10 minutes before you slice it and serve. I just place it on my cutting board and tent with foil… then cut it into medallions and serve.
To serve this hanger steak, I paired it with sautéed mushrooms I cooked right one the grill. You can’t go wrong with a hanger steak because it’s tender as a filet and taste like ribeye.
