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
- Ensure your steak is at room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to achieve your preferred doneness.
- Allow the steak to rest after grilling for juicy results.
