Grilled Hanger Steak

Total preparation time: 30 minutes

Serves 2-3

• Vegetable oil cooking spray
• 1 hanger steak, trimmed and center vein removed (equals two 8- to 9-ounce pieces)
• Olive oil
• Coarse or Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray. The coals should be moderately hot to hot.
• 2. Brush the steak with olive oil and sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Gently press the salt and pepper into the meat.
• 3. Sear the meat for about 1 minute on each side and then grill for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak. If the thin end of steak cooks before the fatter end is done, position the steak so that the thin end is on the edge of the grill. Turn the steak frequently during grilling. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
