Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Trim away fat and membrane from the surface of the steak about 2 hours before cooking time. If the hanger steak is whole, gently tease the meat away from the long center sinew and discard it in order to create 2 long, thin steak pieces. Place trimmed steaks in a non-reactive baking dish.
Step 3
Combine Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Rub spice mix over all the surfaces of the steak.
Step 4
Cover steak with aluminum foil and allow to stand at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Step 5
Rub the steaks with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
Step 6
When the cooking grates are hot, place oiled steak onto the grate and cook steaks until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side (medium-rare). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove from the grill and tent with foil to allow residual heat to bring internal temperature up to 135 degrees F (57 degrees C).
Step 7
Slice about 1/4 inch thick, across the steaks, and serve warm.
