About Hanger steak

Hanger steak, often called the "butcher's steak," comes from the plate section of the cow and is prized for its rich, beefy flavor and tender texture when cooked properly. Traditionally popular in French cuisine, this cut has gained global recognition for its versatility in dishes like steak frites or fajitas. Hanger steak is a nutrient-dense protein source, providing essential amino acids, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which support muscle repair, energy production, and red blood cell formation. It does, however, contain saturated fat, so moderation and lean preparation methods, such as grilling or broiling, can enhance its health benefits. With its robust flavor and nutritional profile, hanger steak is an appealing choice for those seeking a high-protein meal while enjoying a cut rooted in culinary tradition.
