Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound hanger steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Take the hanger steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature (about 30 minutes). This will ensure even cooking when grilled.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chopped rosemary to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade thoroughly over the hanger steak, ensuring all sides are well coated. Let the steak marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the grill.
Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F-500°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the hanger steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a nice sear.
Flip the steak and cook on the other side for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare (adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness).
Remove the steak from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 5-7 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
Once rested, slice the hanger steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
Drizzle the sliced steak with fresh lemon juice before serving, and enjoy!
