Hanger

Our hanger steak, also known as hanging tender, is a hidden gem prized by chefs and famously referred to as “The Butcher’s Steak” due to butchers traditionally keeping it for themselves. Cut from the plate, it offers an intensely rich, beef-forward flavour with a loose, open grain that absorbs marinades beautifully and delivers outstanding eating satisfaction when cooked correctly. Incredibly underrated, hanger steak combines bold flavour with natural tenderness, making it ideal for high-heat grilling or quick pan-searing. Best served medium-rare and sliced against the grain, it rewards careful cooking with a juicy, robust, and deeply savoury experience that stands out as one of the most flavourful cuts in the entire animal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions about this collection.

What cut is hanger and what is it best used for?

Hanger has its own balance of tenderness, marbling and connective tissue, which affects how it performs in different recipes. It is best matched to a cooking method suited to the cut rather than treated like every steak or roast.

Is Hanger Steak Tender or Chewy?

It depends on the cut, thickness and cooking method. Hanger Steak performs best when the cooking method matches the product format. Thin cuts need brief cooking, while thick steaks benefit from controlled heat and resting.

Does Hanger Steak Need to Be Marinated?

No. Marinating is optional. It may add surface flavour to leaner or strongly grained cuts, but it does not replace correct cooking or slicing. Avoid long acidic marinades that may make the exterior soft.
