This is usually a great cut and if I see it on a restaurant menu my decision is made and I have ever been disappointed. The first time I bought one was at a fancy butcher shop in Boston and it was really expensive, but the inedible sinew running through all hangers had been removed and it was fantastic.
The USWM hangers I've bought all have the sinew intact and it's difficult to remove, so i leave it in and eat around it. But the last hanger I bought ended up dry and almost crumbly, and I almost didn't finish it. This one I marinated for a couple of hours and cooked as a roast like I do a tri-tip. Maybe that was not a good idea.
This cut is bloody and kind of smelly due to its proximity to the kidneys, so rinse it well then either pat dry and season, or throw it in a marinade. When it's good, it's fantastic, but when it's not, ugh.
*From USWM -- Thank you for your honest feedback, everyone's opinion is valid. We're very sorry any disappointment you may have experienced because the Hanger Steaks are very popular and sell well.
