Seared Hanger Steak With Brown Sugar Carrots and Walnuts
- 2 ounces Fisher Walnut Halves, about 1/2 cup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 14 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 34 lb carrot, ends trimmed and each one thoroughly peeled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 14 teaspoon kosher salt
- 14 cup light brown sugar
- 12 cup white wine
- water (if needed)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 hanger steaks, skirt steak or 1 flank steak, trimmed of any sinew, about 1 1/4 pounds
- 14 teaspoon salt
- Walnuts: Preheat the oven to 350F Spread walnuts in one layer on ungreased shallow baking pan.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden.
- Set aside.
- When the walnuts have cooled, break them up roughly with your hands.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, walnuts, parsley, lemon zest and juice.
- Set aside.
- Carrots: Place the peeled carrots on a flat surface and cut them into 1-inch rounds.
- Cut the thicker pieces in half lengthwise.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over high heat until it melts and starts to brown, add the carrots and stir to coat with the butter.
- Season with salt and add the brown sugar.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer the carrots for 1 minute.
- Add the white wine and continue cooking until the carrots are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- The wine will evaporate during cooking.
- Add a little water to the skillet to finish the cooking process, if needed.
- Steak: While carrots are cooking, heat canola oil in a large cast iron skillet.
- When it begins to smoke lightly, season the steak with salt and use a pair of metal tongs to carefully place the steak in the hot oil.
- Cook over high heat, 3-4 minutes, on each side.
- Remove the steak and allow it to rest on a flat surface, 10 minutes.
- I count 8-10 minutes for medium rare, depending on thickness.
- If you like your steak a little more cooked, leave it in the pan a few minutes longer on each side.
- Slice the steak and arrange on a platter with the carrots (and cooking liquid) underneath.
- Top with the walnut mixture.
- Serve immediately.
