Hanger Steak with Herb-Nut Salsa

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup hazelnut
  • 1/2 cup mincd flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup snipped chives
  • 2 tsp minced tarragon
  • 1 tsp minced chervil
  • 2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, minced
  • 2 tsp chopped rinsed capers
  • 1 medium shallot, minced
  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 hanger steaks

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Toast the hazelnuts in a pie plate for 12 minutes, or until the skins are blistered. Transfer the nuts to a kitchen towel; let cool slightly, then rub off the skins. Finely chop the nuts and transfer them to a bowl. Add the parsley, chives, tarragon, chervil, anchovies, capers and shallot. Stir in the vinegar and the 3/4 cup of oil and season with salt and pepper.

2. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the steaks with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes for medium-rare meat. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the meat across the grain and serve with the salsa.
