A hanger steak is a flavorful cut of beef from the plate section of the cow, near the diaphragm. It’s sometimes called the “butcher’s steak” because it was traditionally a cut butchers would keep for themselves.
Very beefy, rich flavor
Usually well-marbled
Fairly tender when cooked properly
Best cooked hot and fast, usually medium-rare
Important: Slice it against the grain to keep it tender
Great for grilling, cast-iron searing, fajitas, tacos, or steak sandwiches
