Let's talk steak.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I love cooking with Hanger Steaks – I use Hanger in my Beef + Mushroom Bowl with Yum Yum Sauce and in the Heirloom Tomato Grilled Chili Rubbed Steak with Cilantro Chimichurri. It’s an amazing cut of meat – tender, cooks fast, doesn’t dry out and the flavor is crazy good.
But I also have a love for Tri Tip, Flat Iron and Flap. I use Flap in this Steak Bite Salad with Homemade Italian Dressing. It’s takes a marinade really fast, it doesn’t get chewy – especially when cut so small and cooks up fast and is great in so many dishes.
