Hanger Steak With Shallots Recipes

BUTCHER'S STEAK (HANGER STEAK)

Steps:

• Remove all silver skin and extra fat from the steak. Carefully cut out the connective tissue that connects the 2 halves of the steak, separating the whole into 2 long pieces. Cut lobe of meat from one half (it's a piece that is slightly separated from the larger half). Then cut each of the 2 larger halves into 2 steaks each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat skillet over high heat. Add clarified butter when pan is hot, then place the steaks in the pan. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until browned on all sides, firm, and reddish-pink on the inside. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), a total of about 12 minutes. (This cut of meat has a sort of triangular shape, so about 4 minutes per side.) Transfer to a warm plate and tent with foil to let steaks rest and allow temperature to rise to 130 degrees F.
• Pour stock into skillet set over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. When brownings dissolve and liquid begins to reduce after 2 or 3 minutes, reduce heat to low. Add accumulated juices from the meat, balsamic vinegar, and butter chunks. Cook and stir until butter melts. If liquid has reduced too much, add a splash of broth. Taste to check if sauce needs a bit of salt.
• To serve, slice steaks and spoon pan sauce over them.

HANGER STEAK WITH SHALLOTS AND JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Roasted Shallots
• Preheat oven to 350°. Heat butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Cook shallots, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Add pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons vinegar and toss. Roast shallots in oven, checking after 10 minutes and shaking pan to turn and adding a splash or so of water if butter is burning, until tender, 10-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk oil, chile, and remaining 1/4 cup vinegar in a large bowl; season with salt (vinaigrette will separate as it sits).
• When shallots are done cooking, whisk vinaigrette, add shallots, and toss gently.
• Purée:
• Cook Jerusalem artichokes in a large saucepan of boiling, generously salted water until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain; return to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, tossing, until dry, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add cream and butter, and stir to combine.
• Purée in a blender. With motor running, gradually add oil and blend until emulsified; season with salt. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids.
• Steak and Assembly:
• Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer registers 130° for medium-rare, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Squeeze lemons over and drizzle with oil; season with pepper. Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
• Spoon purée onto plates and place steak around. Top with shallots, leaving vinaigrette in pan. Toss herbs and fennel fronds in vinaigrette; season with salt. Top steak with salad and drizzle with oil.

HANGER STEAK WITH SHALLOT CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil over steaks and season all sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Put on a hot grill pan or outdoor grill. Allow the meat to cook for about 3 minutes on the first side without moving. Turn, and cook until preferred doneness is reached, another 5 minutes (just a bit more for larger cuts). Remove the steaks from the grill to a cutting board and allow to rest 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan over high heat, add the shallots and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook until golden. Deglaze the pan with pomegranate juice, scraping up the brown bits, then stir in the cherry preserves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain and arrange on serving plates. Serve with the cherry sauce.

ROAST HANGER STEAK, PORT WINE AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM WITH ROAST SHALLOTS

Steps:

• For the steak: Trim fat and silver skin from steak.
• For the marinade: Mix all ingredients together. Marinate steak and scraps for 24 hours refrigerated.
• Remove steaks from marinade. Strain and reserve juices. Skim off oil and discard. Saute scraps, vegetables and spices to brown. Drain fat. Add marinade and reduce to half. Add 2 cups cold water and bring to boil. Simmer minimum 30 minutes, skimming impurities from top.
• For the finished dish: In the olive oil, saute seasoned hanger steaks over high heat. Brown steaks and turn over. Add shallots and cook steaks to desired temperature (rare to medium rare) and remove. Add shiitakes, season and saute with shallots for 2 minutes. Deglaze pan with port wine and reduce to half.

HANGER STEAK WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed sauté pan or skillet over high heat, then add the oil. When the oil is hot, season the steaks with salt and pepper, slip them into the pan, and brown evenly, turning as needed, until they're done the way you like them-6 minutes total will give you a medium-rare steak (remember, the steaks will continue cooking while they rest); cook the steaks a minute longer for medium and 2 to 3 minutes longer for well-done. Transfer the steaks to a heated serving dish and set them aside in a warm place while you make the shallots.
• Place the pan you used to cook the steaks over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the shallots. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 mintues, until the shallots are softened but not colored. Add the vinegar and cook until it evaporates, then add the wine. Bring the wine to the boil and allow it to cook down until it is reduced by half. Pull the pan from the heat and swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then stir in the chopped parsley.
• To serve: Cut each steak on the bias into thin slices and, for each serving, fan the slices out on a warm dinner plate. Drizzle the warm shallot sauce over the meat and serve immediately.

STEAK WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet, large enough to hold the steaks in one layer, until it is fiery hot. Add the oil and quickly coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the steaks and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the steaks and continue cooking on the second side about 3 minutes. If you want the steak medium rare, cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm platter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet or saucepan and add the shallots. Cook, stirring often, until they are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and cook until bubbling hot. Spoon the shallots over the meat and pour any remaining butter over all. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK WITH A ROASTED SHALLOT PORT DEMI SAUCE AND GRILLED GARLIC GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Lightly cover the steaks with canola oil and season generously with salt and pepper; cover and place in refrigerator until ready to grill.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on about 1/3 of the grill surface.
• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the green beans in the boiling water until heated through yet still firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the garlic and 1/4 cup of canola oil to the green beans and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Stir the water, sugar, and shallots together in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves; cover the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Drain the liquid and return the shallots to the pan. Add the port wine and demi glace to the saucepan and place over medium heat; cook until the liquid reduces to about half its original volume. Stir the butter into the mixture until it melts. Remove the pan from the heat. Season with salt as needed. Keep the saucepan covered until the steaks are prepared.
• Spread the green beans onto the part of the grill prepared with aluminum foil and allow to finish cooking while grilling the steaks.
• Cook the steaks until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Allow the steaks to rest 5 minutes before placing onto individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the steaks. Serve the green beans on the side.
