Hanger steak tacos

[salumi512]

Welcome to Texas. There is only one hanger steak (hanging tender) per cow, so make sure you get the right side if you go half cow.

Tonight we decided to throw our spicy grilled hanger steak tacos on for our family dinner.

I don't think you guys will believe what's in the ingredients, so I will first post the pics.

Here goes:

Great cook.

I just discovered hanger steaks about a month ago. I seem to like to buy stuff that I have never cooked before or sometime even heard of. I bought some hangers from Restaurant Depot and put them in the freezer.

Taco are the first thing that came up when I started to research what to do with the hangers. I trimmed them up and actually split them down the middle to cut out a bit of the fat that ran through the center. They almost look like tenderloins at that point. They made some of the best tacos I have had in a while. Definitely will make them again.

Did you marinate or season them with anything special?

Here's a pic of mine from a few weeks ago.

Looks great, both of you!

Now, could someone explain to me what "hanger steaks" are?

I have a quick marinade that I use for these. It has olive oil, fermented anchovies, serrano chile and smashed garlic. I don't tell guests about the fermented anchovies until after we finish eating. It's one of my favorite flavoring ingredients.

If you don't mind sharing I'd like to try the marinade.

Marinated mine in this vacuum container I got with my vac sealer. Garlic, soy, evo, lime juice. and cilantro.

It's easy and works very fast. It only marinates for 45 - 60 minutes in this.

1/4 cup EVO (extra virgin olive oil)
1/4 cup first press fish sauce. Red Boat is the best you can get in the US.
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 serrano chile peppers chopped (with seeds)
3 sprigs of fresh thyme

I grill over wood coals and serve with grated cheese, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, sour cream and/or guacamole.

Thanks, although I had to look up EVO

Shouldn't it be EVOO?

It's a contracted contraction People usually say it as E - V - O, and leave off the last O.

And then in Austin, TX we have BEVO. He's the University of Texas mascot
