Thai Beef Salad

Procedimento

1. 01
   Passaggio 1Season the steak

   Salt the hanger steak generously. For best results, salt it a day in advance and let it sit uncovered in the refrigerator overnight to season from within and dry the outside for a better crust.

   Nota

   If you don't have time, salting 30 minutes before cooking still helps.

   Heat a pan over high heat and sear the hanger steak on both sides until a deep crust forms and the steak reaches medium doneness.

   Nota

   Hanger steak is best cooked to medium for tenderness.
