What's Hanger steak
Hanger steak is produced from the body skirt group of muscles which are lean and sit near the internal organs so it has a stronger beefier taste to it. This steak has a very course, open grained texture and is very lean but also very tender when cooked correctly.
How Can I Cook It?
A hanger steak is best served rare or medium rare as it toughens up when over cooked. It is best pan-fried in a hot large frying pan or griddled
What Else Could I Use?
If you like your steak with lots of flavour, you could also choose a flat iron steak, or try a rib-eye.
