American Wagyu Hanger Steak: A Luxurious Taste Journey at Cross Creek Ranch
Discover the hidden gem of the steak world with our American Wagyu Hanger Steak. Known for its rich flavor and tender texture, this cut is a favorite among butchers and chefs, often referred to as the “butcher’s steak.”
Masterful Marbling, Memorable Meals: Each American Wagyu Hanger Steak is a canvas of rich, buttery marbling, reflecting the care and quality fed into every fiber. The hanger steak, also known as the “onglet” in French cuisine, comes from the diaphragm of the cow, nestled between the rib and the loin. This particular muscle, the crura, supports the diaphragm and “hangs” between the rib and the loin—hence the name. Each animal produces only one hanger steak, making it a relatively rare and highly sought-after cut.
Historically, butchers would often keep this cut for themselves due to its exceptional flavor, leading to its nickname. Unlike more famous cuts, the hanger steak remains an insider’s secret, cherished for its unique qualities that set it apart from the rest.
A Taste of Umami Majesty: What makes the hanger steak truly special is its unparalleled flavor. The muscle in this area is not heavily used, which contributes to its tenderness. However, it has just enough activity to develop a rich, deep beefy flavor that steak connoisseurs crave. The marbling in a hanger steak, while not as pronounced as in a ribeye, provides enough fat to keep the meat juicy and flavorful during cooking.
When cooked to perfection, the hanger steak offers a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Its texture is both tender and chewy, providing a satisfying bite that bursts with beefy goodness. The hanger steak’s robust flavor makes it ideal for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of a well-prepared steak.
