I use skirt steak or flat iron for fajitas. I slice after grilling. Flat iron is more tender than skirt.
The hanger steak is the cut that is left when they split the carcass. I find it to thick for the flavor I like in fajitas.Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL

Great looking grub brother stem. Mighty fine job.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

The lady was out of tri-tip last Thursday and told me they just hung some beef the day before. With limited cuts on hand I picked this hanger steak up. They hang for 14 days before the butcher gets them, so it might be a another few weeks before I can get tri-tip. With the tri-tip being cheaper, I think I'll just stick with that. Here's a price list. Anything worth trying on here?

stemc33 said:Egged a hanger steak tonight. Isn't this what they(everybody) use to make fajitas? It's too late to ask for help but was this supposed to be cut into strips prior to cooking and fried in a pan? Just seemed kind of chewy.
That, (your pic) is actually one "Hanger" that should be trimmed into 2 "Steaks"."Steaks" are then blocked and trimmed...having had the center of membrane trimmed out and the tail cut off!
When trimmed properly and cooked much like a Flatiron... they are fabulous!
Properly cooked... and rested...and sliced on the bias, they are some of the best meat on a cow...any cow!
Its funny many of the younger butchers don't even know how to trim them since they are generally thrown in ground meats as in ground chuck or ground round.The old guys used to take them home for themselves!!
You need to find an old timer to trim those up...lol!
Cant get pics to attach here?..., I'll put them in a second post.
I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!! -
Depending on grade those are nice prices. Definetely get a flat iron next time.
Careful on the brisket. Judging by average weight looks like just the flat. Maybe ask what they do with the point. May be able to buy just that.Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL

I like to...but you don't have to.I do a 1/3 light soy sauce...1/3 wostershire...1/3 inexpensive balsamic vinegar....and a good dose of Brown Sugar.
Heat...stir to dissolve...cool thoroughly...and bagg'em for about an hour!
Each "Steak" should end up about 8 ozs...and be about the size of those Large (Pinochle) decks of cards.
