Instructions

Prepare the marinade

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper.

Pro tip: Use fresh garlic for the best flavour.

Marinate the steak

Place the hanger steak in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.

Pro tip: Marinating longer enhances flavour.

Preheat the grill

Set your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C). Ensure the grates are clean and oiled.

Pro tip: A clean grill prevents sticking.

Season the steak

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt.

Pro tip: Patting the steak dry helps achieve a good sear.

Grill the steak

Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Rest the steak

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Resting allows juices to redistribute.

Tips & Tricks

Allow the steak to rest after grilling for juicy results.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this delectable hanger steak with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. Pair it with a bold red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or a dark stout to complement the steak's robust flavours. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or enjoy cold in a steak sandwich.
