Hanger Steak Impressions...(SEVERAL PICS)

Chubby · February 2006

Per the venerable...Mad Max:[p]I have been o the hunt for Hanger Steak since the "Mad One" started crowing about this cut's virtues a few weeks ago!![p]After exhausting all my local favorites, I was directed to a small specialty Butcher Shop near the Galleria.... in Houston.[p]What to my wondering eyes did appear....?[p]Max says these are well trimmed specimens...about 8 ozs.each.[p][p]After 6 hrs in a soy, balsamic, brown sugar, and garlic marinade.[p][p]4 mins a side,(direct) @ approximately 550 degrees.[p][p]Cover, and let rest 5 minutes.
Plate, and drizzle with the "Good Balsamic"!!
Foo Foo factor added for you, Max!![p][p]Pics taken, put the damm camera down....and let's eat!![p] [p]I must say...the flavor/texture combination is something I've seldom experienced...no matter what cut, or grade.[p]These were "Prime" Hanger Steaks, but the way they just melt away in your mouth reminds you of a great fillet, but with waaaay more Beef flavor!
Quite a value for about 8.00 per lb!![p]Outstanding find Max...thanks for the tip, and the coaching!![p]Evans[p][p][p]

Chubby,[p]got my tix, got my tux, got my smoking pellets in my bucket...[p]looking forward to it.[p]so how you doing Mr. Chubby. [p]What was it you was cooking last year?[p]

Chubby · February 2006

aka mr. Earl,[p]It was my first time to Waldorf, and as a fly in I tried to make it easy on myself![p]I did some stuffed mushrooms, helped Jaymer with his Smoked Mullet, and generally flitted around trying to meet as many people as I could.[p]I'm looking forward to a return trip this year!![p]I remember your Salt Crusted fish, but blinked and it was gone!![p]Evans

aka mr. Earl · February 2006

Chubby,[p]I'm thinking of doing whiskey-soaked salmon this year. When you're finished cooking it, you don't care how it tastes.
