Every Juicy Detail
Once known as the butcher’s best-kept secret, the hanger steak belongs to a family of flat steaks, alongside flank and skirt. Sometimes called the “hanging tender,” it’s one of the most flavorful cuts on the cow. Hanging (hence the name) between the rib and the loin, where it supports the diaphragm, this cut is rich with marbling that melts during cooking, delivering bold, beefy flavor and a tender, juicy bite. But here’s the catch: there’s only one hanger steak per cow. That’s right—just one. No wonder it used to stay hidden in butcher shops, maybe behind a secret handshake or two.
To get the best out of this cut, treat it like the steak it deserves to be. Marinate it to enhance its depth of flavor or simply season with salt and pepper. A screaming-hot grill or cast iron skillet is your best friend here—just don’t overcook it, or you’ll risk losing the tenderness that makes this cut shine. Slice against the grain, and you’re rewarded with a steak so rich and satisfying, it might just ruin you for other cuts.
With hanger steak, you’re not just getting beef—you’re joining an exclusive club of steak enthusiasts who know a great thing when they taste it. No secret handshakes required.
