The hanger steak, also known as the butcher's cut, is one of my favorites. This week on the Summer Grill Series I throw a hanger steak on the charcoal grill with some asparagus, served with some homemade jalapeño hallandaise.
- Hanger steak
- Kosher salt
- 16 mesh black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Asparagus
- Extra-virgin olive oil (EVO)
- Salt and pepper
Jalapeno Hollandaise Sauce:
- 1/2 pound of butter
- Egg yolks
- Garlic cloves
- Lemon juice
- Black pepper
- Torch-blasted jalapeno
Preparing the Hanger Steak:
- Trim the hanger steak if necessary and cut it into manageable-sized pieces.
- Season the steaks with kosher salt, 16 mesh black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
- Fire up the grill and preheat it to the desired temperature.
- Once the grill reaches the desired temperature, place the seasoned hanger steak on the grill.
- Cook the steaks hot and fast for a couple of minutes on each side. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the steaks and desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
- Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Asparagus:
- While the steaks are resting, place the chopped asparagus on a perforated grill pan.
- Drizzle the asparagus with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the grill pan with the asparagus over the flames and let them cook for a few minutes until they are tender and slightly charred, flipping them occasionally.
Jalapeno Hollandaise Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- In a blender, add egg yolks, garlic cloves, lemon juice, black pepper, and torch-blasted jalapeno. Blend until combined.
- Slowly pour the hot melted butter into the blender while running it on low speed to create a hollandaise sauce. The hot butter will cook the egg yolks and create a smooth sauce. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
