Katie - I placed an order for hanger steaks yesterday during preview day but my wife asked whether we can add to the order today and combine for shipping. I don’t know if you already shipped yesterday’s orders but please let me know if this is an option.
thanks
I haven’t made them from Flannery but was told 6 min on each side on a hot grill is ideal. If anyone has other ways to cook I’d like to hear (I have four coming).
Not sure I’d do 6 mins. Treat it like you’re grilling a sausage; it has four distinct sides (somewhat tubular in shape) and you want to brown it as much as possible without overcooking it. Pull it at Med Rare (good luck using a Thermapen - I go by feel) and then slice against the grain. There are some pics on the steak porn thread, if you’re interested.
Only advice I’d add is make sure to use paper towels and blot off as much liquid as possible because hanger steaks can be harder to get a nice sear on, at least in my experience. I’d also suggest cooking a little longer in case you’re looking for more of a medium to medium-well doneness.
Pre-salting for a few hours in the fridge on a wire rack over a baking sheet never hurts either (or ideally, overnight).
Hanger Steaks are pretty forgiving, i sous vide them and they are so tender that i don’t think you even need teeth to eat em. Picked up six plus a few 24oz Ribeyes and some Traditional Blend burger mix.
Agree, salting overnight, or at least for a few hours, in the fridge makes a big difference. I’m too lazy to use a rack, I just do it on a plate, then blot dry before cooking. At that point, the salt has penetrated the meet, so no worry about taking it off the surface.
Flannery Hangers are seriously my go-to for steak these days, they are so good.
Congrats Katie! Bryan I trust he is an awesome guy Andrew don’t make these popular - our weekly steak! Had to stock up with some Ribeye’sand Rudd’s. Taking a flyer on the Pincha’s for summer tennis club fun.
You guys are incredible and thank you for making our X-mas eve rock!

PS - bryan in my haste in the instructions on the order i misspelled your name - whoops please forgive…
I go medium, minimum on these, as (like Bryan says on the website) they can handle being ‘overcooked’ a bit. The meat is chewier than more tender cuts, so cooking it a bit longer actually helps. Never dries out, it seems.
