Butcher's Lunch Part Two: Hanger Steak


The first sentence of the Wikipedia page for Hanger Steak sums up this cut of beef. It is prized for its flavor. Hanger steak has great marbling and when cooked is as juicy as any steak out there. I bought some from my butcher this week and had a great lunch during a stressful work day. Even better, a four ounce cut of hanger steak has only 200 calories. 

Ingredients (serves 1):

4 oz. hanger steak
1 handful spinach
2 marinated artichoke hearts
1 tsp olive oil
sea salt & black pepper

1. Season your steak with salt and pepper.

2. Heat a pan and cook the steak for around 6 to 8 minutes. Let it rest on a plate for 2 minutes before serving.

3. While the steak cooks, roughly chop the artichoke hearts.

4. Heat a small pan over a medium-high flame, and add the artichokes. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, tossing regularly, until the artichokes begin to brown then remove from heat.

5. Add spinach to a mixing bowl and drizzle olive oil, tossing until the spinach is covered. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Add the spinach and artichokes to a plate and top with the steak. Enjoy!
