Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds hanger steak
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce store-bought or make your own

Instructions
 

  • Make the chimichurri and set it aside. You can make it up to a day in advance.
  • Mix the olive oil, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl until combined.
  • Trim the steaks, if needed, cutting the 2 steaks apart along the silver skin which connects them.
  • Rub the spice blend all over the steaks, top them with sliced onions and garlic, and pop them in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat your gas grill to high or prep your charcoal grill for direct heat.
  • Grill the steaks over high heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 125-F on a digital meat thermometer.
  • Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice and serve!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

    • Don't throw out the onions from the marinade - grill them or cook them up in a skillet! Yum!
    • Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the spice rub if you'd like a bit of heat.
    • Don't overcook this meat - it cooks fast and is best eaten med-rare or medium, but no higher.
    • Control your heat - getting a good sear on this steak means lots of flavor but there is oil in the spice rub so watch for flare-ups.
