    Help with a Hanger steak

    Hoping to get some advice, I got some rub meant for high heat grilling, a SNF hanger steak, and some new grill grates for my PK that I want to test out. Any advice on how to cook thos hunk of meat with the tools that I have?

    Nice one! There are two ways as I see it: either do a reverse sear, or just front sear on medium heat until done. I would skip the grill grates in both cases.
    if it isn’t too thick I would go with option no 1. You get to develop great bark and crust, while also cooking it to desired temp. The PK is just made for a cook like that.

    The reverse sear works wonders too, and if it is slightly thicker (more than 2” in diameter) I would do this. It only takes 25-30 minutes in the first phase, but you get to add some smoke flavor if you like.

    The rub sounds good too, so the usual dry brine the night before and then apply the rub 30
    minutes before it hits the grill.

    let me know if I can clarify anything or add more info.

      Sorry tenphases, it was meant to say option no. 1 (I typed in "hashtag" 1, which converts it to a weird link). Now fixed.

      The Carne Crosta rub is meant to be used during the high heat searing process, as that's when it releases the coffee oils in it. You could use another rub during the initial cook and then add the Crosta right before the sear.

    I love Carne Crosta and use it on steaks too.

    What I would do is brine for at least an hour up to overnight and then rub according to the rub directions. I would then cook it hot flipping every 30 seconds to 1 minute until your target temp is reached.

    I’m lurking, er, I mean, following this topic too because I’ve only ever marinated then quick seared hanger steaks to rare in the past.

      I am cooking some hangers tonight! They are usually small and thin enough that you can just put them over medium or medium-high heat, flip it every 30 seconds, and cook until it is done.

        Henrik JoeSousa After a quick cook/sear, do you then cut it about 1/4” thick on an angle to the top?

          It is kind of a pain but similar to skirt steak I will cut it into 3-4 inch pieces and then cut those across the grain into strips if that makes sense.

          Or I just throw it on my plate and just cut it into pieces with my steak knife trying to cut across the grain but realizing that if I cut a bite sized piece it will most likely be against the grain anyway.

        Carne Crost rub already has salt in it so would just rub it on the day before and be done with it. I often use it for steaks and tri-trip. I'd go easy on the amount first time. Just my taste but I think too many chefutainers go too heavy on rubs.

        Roll them in bacon fat. Sauté in pan.

        Oh on the grill? Don't cook past the slightly rare side of medium.

        Season with what you have and reverse sear. Hangar is one of my favorites and I prepare it often.

        Here is the hanger I cooked tonight. Absolutely delicious! Used some Hardcore Carnivore Black rub on it and cooked it over direct heat on my PK Grill.

          I'm not sure if SRF ships their hangers as one whole piece or if they remove the seam and give you 2 pieces. If it's whole make sure you remove the seam and you'll have 2 thinner pieces. Hot and fast is how we do them.

          Hi - getting to this late. I have tried store-bought hangers a couple of different ways and I found that the reverse sear worked really well. I have attempted to upload my cooking notes from a couple of different tries - hope this works!
