Cast Iron Hanger Steak w/ Charred Red Onion Raita

In a dream world, this is being made on a charcoal grill, but that isn’t what is happening this time of year! …Or ever for me, as that is not a cooking appliance I own. But if you do, you’ll want to adjust the timing below for both direct and indirect heat on a grill. Grill the red onions slowly over indirect heat, and sear the peppercorn-covered steak over direct heat for an exterior char.

Be warned, you may have to find a well stocked butcher or do mail order for a piece of hanger steak. If you want to splurge for a holiday (this is a special occasion item for us but the quality is unreal), Snake River Farms has very high quality meats and their bacon is a popular gift for our extended family.
