Pan Seared Hanger Steak with Roasted Radishes

February 25, 2016 by Talia Bunting 8 Comments

What is your go-to cut of steak to cook for dinner? Filet Mignons while high in tenderness have very little flavor. I love flank steak but the thinness and structure doesn’t give the same mouthfeel as the meaty flavorful prime rib. Rib-eyes are highly flavorful and fairly tender, but the price tag makes them more of a special treat than a standard Wednesday supper. Same goes for New York Strips. The answer to your Wednesday supper steak problem is the hanger steak.

My Notes on Pan Seared Hanger Steak with Roasted Radishes

Hanger steak used to be referred to as the butcher’s cut because butchers would often reserve it for their own families. There is only one hanger steak per cow (it hangs from the diaphragm) and it can be cut into two steaks. You would think that the rarity of this cut would make it more expensive, but for the flavor and tenderness that it offers it is an incredible deal. My market sells them for $5.99/lb, and I would imagine that would be comparable at most markets and butchers.

The method for pan searing I took from The Food Lab. I cannot drive home this cookbook enough. It will be a classic for years and most certainly will be a bookshelf mainstay for my generation. Follow The Piglet (March Madness for cookbooks) to see how it performs against last years cookbook releases (although the rumor mill is that it doesn’t win first place).

If radishes aren’t in season (or if you don’t like radishes) you can substitute a different vegetable. Any root vegetable would be fine.

Because of the shape of the steak it should be flipped frequently during cooking. This will ensure an even crust.

This hanger steak recipe with roasted radishes is tender, delicious and easy. Hanger steak, also known as the butchers cut, is a lesser known cut of meat but also highly desirable. Butchers used to reserve this cut for themselves. One pound can feed two people and is about 5.99/lb (depending on your market).

    I precisely needed to thank you very much once again. I am not sure the things that I could possibly have worked on in the absence of the suggestions provided by you about my area of interest. Previously it was an absolute distressing case for me, but finding out your specialised form you handled that made me to cry with happiness. I’m just thankful for the support and even have high hopes you find out what an amazing job you happen to be putting in teaching the others all through your site. I am certain you have never come across all of us.
