Instructions

  • Season the hanger steaks on all sides with the Salt Pepper + Chocolate Chiles seasoning. Set aside while you prepare the grill and the pico de gallo.

  • Combine all the pico de gallo ingredients and check for seasoning. Add more salt and lime juice as needed.
  • Grill the hanger over direct heat until it reaches 127 to 137 degrees F, about 3 minutes per side, or 12 minutes total. Set aside to rest for 5 minute. Slice the steak into bite sized pieces.
