Hanger steak for lunch today

Beanie-Bean

Special thanks to Danny the butcher over at Central Market here in Austin! I got their attention when my number was called and asked if they had any Hanger Steaks available. Well, they said it would just take a few minutes, and that they'd have some ready. Ended up with four nice pieces from them, and the price was nice, too! One of those well-kept secrets, like flat iron.

Fired up the SBGE with the cast iron grate and dropped the steaks in, two pieces at a time. They were seasoned with some DP Cowlick and some Konriko Creole seasoning.



Here they are all done, medium:


Really nice texture, and had a hint of a liver (?) taste them. The way that some of the steak looked on the plate reminded me a bit of tenderloin by the way the striations looked. If you haven't tried these, I'd highly recommend them when you have a chance.

Hangers sure are tasty.

Count yourself lucky the butcher trimmed them for you. They are most definitely worth the work.

Glad you made it back Mike! Don't you hate reality! :laugh: Good to see you back on the Egg. We all been missing ya! Wen't by the BGE dealer for some DP Cowlick for my cook but they were closed. Ended up with stand by Dust. Those hangers look great!!

I feel really lucky, Rod. That's why I mentioned the guy's name over at the store here in Austin, in hopes that someone else looking/lurking here will have the same good fortune that I did and leave the store with some freshly cut hangers!

You guys were right--these are some excellent cuts

Beanie-Bean

Thanks, Pat. Vacation was great--hope you guys are getting some better weather (and some sun!) to help dry you out over there in FL.

Thanks, JL The hangers are really something to try (if you don't like 'em, at least you can say that you tried 'em...but they're good!) Cowlick is really good on beef, and it's up there with Dizzy Dust when it comes to being used up first. My second order with Dizzy Pig had both Dizzy Dust and Cowlick, along with some other different ones I only tasted with the sample pack.

It's good to be back cooking on the eggs again--that restaurant stuff is at times overrated and overpriced, in my opinion. I like just picking up some nice cuts and putting together something on the eggs.

Beanie-Bean

North? Would that be the Heart Hospital/38th St location? If so, then yes I went to the North location. It's actually South for me coming down from Round Rock Ask for Danny over there--great guy and was very helpful and friendly.

Oh yeah, the Hatch chiles are roasting over there, so it smells wonderful approaching the entrance to the store.

Beanie-Bean

Thanks, allen. Glad to be back, too. Not so much for food selection there on South Padre Island, just the usual suspect chains along with some local seafood places.

Great looking steaks there. I have yet to try hanger steaks. BTW...had your number called at a butcher shop? Haven't seen that in years!!!

Yeah...it's the upscale version of the HEB grocery stores here in Texas. Really nice place--great bakery, produce section, fish/meat counters (with the number machine things...) and lots of odd/hard-to-find items.

Central Market site here...

Thanks, Ross. Hope you have a good cookout tonight
