The hanger steak is a distinctive cut highly prized by connoisseurs for its pronounced flavor and unique texture. It's ideally cooked using a high-heat method, such as pan-frying or grilling, with a quick sear followed by a short rest. The key is the cut: slicing thinly against the grain transforms the bite, making it significantly more tender. Served simply, with a light sauce or shallots, it offers an intense experience, perfect for a quick yet premium meal. Prepared by your butcher, Allaert, a renowned establishment since 1978, with service available only in Belgium.
When you choose a cut of meat at Allaert, you're not just buying meat; you're participating in a legacy. Each cut is hand-selected by our master butchers, guaranteeing that only the very best reaches your table.

Hand-cut and precision
We prioritize animals from carefully managed farms, raised on a controlled diet with respect for their natural growth cycle. This yields beautifully marbled, consistent, and flavorful meat that retains its tenderness when cooked. Each cut is selected for its reliable quality, texture, and authentic beef flavor.
This cut is naturally more aromatic, giving it a character appreciated by those who enjoy a rich, meaty flavor. Its texture and grain provide a more rustic feel than very lean, smooth cuts. With a short cooking time and proper trimming, you achieve a perfect balance of intensity, juiciness, and tenderness.
A quick, high-heat sear is the best option. Sear it well to create a crust, then stop before it overcooks. Let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to settle. Overcooking makes the meat tougher, while controlled cooking followed by resting preserves a tender and pleasant texture.
Identify the grain direction, then slice thinly against the grain, ideally on the bias. This is the most important step for this cut. If you slice with the grain, the texture becomes more chewy. By slicing against the grain, you shorten the fibers in each bite and immediately gain tenderness.
Simple sauces are perfect: shallots, reduced juices, a touch of pepper, or a hint of herb butter. The idea is to add depth without overpowering the natural character. A shallot sauce works particularly well, as it complements the aromatic richness and adds a slightly sweet note, perfectly balanced with seared food.
A frying pan is the simplest way to control searing and cooking, and you can baste with butter at the end. A barbecue is excellent for a grilled flavor, provided you have a very hot grill and don't overcook. In both cases, the key is high heat, short cooking time, resting time, and then thin slicing against the grain.
Keep refrigerated in a sealed container and consume promptly. To reheat, avoid high heat. Slice thinly and warm very briefly in a hot sauce or over low heat. Microwaving will easily harden it. Leftovers are also delicious cold, thinly sliced, in a salad or a warm sandwich.
