Found this recipe over at The Food Network Magazine and had to try it. We cooked it on the grill last Saturday and found it delicious. Of course first I had to find out what a “hanger steak” was:
The Hanger Steak is a thick strip of meat from the underside of the beef cow. It hangs (hence the name) between the rib and the loin. It is part of the diaphragm and, like a skirt steak is full of flavor but can be tough if not prepared correctly. The hanger steak has a grainy texture which is great for many dishes like fajitas or bulgogi. While you can use most any method to prepare the hanger steak it does have a tendency to dry out and get tough when exposed to dry heat. When grilling or broiling you need to use a marinade first to keep it moist. This is a very tasty steak and you will really enjoy it as long as you prepare it correctly.
Marinate a 1-pound hanger steak (center sinew removed) in a mix of 1 cup red wine vinegar, 1/3 cup cognac, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 minced shallot, 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary, 4 chopped garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons sugar, and pepper to taste for up to 6 hours. Preheat a grill to medium-high on one side. Remove the steak from the marinade; pat dry and season with coarse sea salt and pepper. Sear over direct heat until marked, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the cooler side; cover and cook until the meat reaches 130 for medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. To make the sauce, blanch 1 bunch chives in simmering water for 3 minutes, then rinse under cold water and squeeze dry. Puree with 1 cup sour cream, 3 tablespoons horseradish and a pinch of salt.
