Grilled Hanger Steak with Brandied Green Peppercorn Sauce
- 2 pounds hanger steak, trimmed
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 tablespoons canola olive oil blend, plus more for drizzling
- 2 shallots, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped green peppercorns, rinsed and drained
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Bring a large cast-iron grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Pat the steak dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle with oil.
- Place the steak into the pan and sear until browned (without moving the steak), 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn the steak over and cook a further 3 to 4 minutes on the second side for medium-rare.
- Remove the steak from the pan and add to a cast-iron pan.
- Put the steak into the oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking through.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to rest on a plate while you prepare the sauce.
- Place the cast-iron pan over medium heat and add the oil to heat.
- Once heated, add the shallots to the pan.
- Saute until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the thyme leaves, and then remove the pan from flame (for safety purposes) and add the brandy.
- Ignite the brandy by returning to the stove top and tilting the pan toward the open flame, or carefully lighting with a lighter or match.
- Once the flames subside, add the cream and swirl to incorporate.
- Add the peppercorns and simmer the sauce until it has reduced by two-thirds to a smooth, slightly thick consistency, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add any pan drippings to the sauce.
- Season with salt, if needed.
- To finish, remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter.
- To serve, slice the rested hanger steak into 1/2-inch strips, against the grain, and serve with a drizzle of brandied green peppercorn sauce over the top.
