Red Eye Rubbed Hanger Steaks With Cilantro Chimichurri And Sour Cream And Onion Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• For the blackened hanger steak: Mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cayenne, chili powder and black pepper in a bowl. Rub the mixture over the hanger steaks and put the steaks on a wire-racked baking sheet. Place in the fridge overnight.
• For the chimichurri sauce: In a food processor, add the parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar and garlic. Pulse until combined but still a bit coarse, about 10 pulses. Add in the crushed red pepper, and then slowly drizzle in the oil and pulse about 5 more times. Season with salt and pepper and set aside for the flavors to meld. (The chimichurri can be made up to 3 days in advance.)
• For the sweet fried plantains: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the plantains in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side until dark brown. Using a spider, remove the plantains and drain on paper towels. Season with garlic salt when still hot.
• To cook the steaks, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and sear all 4 sides of the hanger steaks until crusty and dark, 4 to 5 minutes each side. The steaks are done when an instant-read thermometer reads 135 degrees F. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Whisk oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 2 teaspoons garlic, rosemary and pepper in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Add steaks; turn to coat. Let stand 1 hour. Heat heavy large skillet over high heat. Remove steaks from marinade; sprinkle with salt. Place in skillet; sauté to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to plates. Add peppers, 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 teaspoon garlic to skillet. Stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Spoon peppers and pan juices over steaks.
