Pre-seasoned black pepper hanger steak from the Costco deli, sold by the pound and ready to cook. Hanger steak is a premium cut from the plate section of the cow, located just below the diaphragm. Often called the "butcher's steak" because butchers traditionally kept this prized cut for themselves, it is known for its rich, beefy flavor and exceptional tenderness comparable to tenderloin.

This pre-seasoned version comes coated with cracked black pepper, eliminating the need for additional seasoning preparation. The case pack contains twelve individually wrapped pieces averaging approximately 1.75 pounds each. For best results, bring the steak to room temperature before cooking, then sear in a hot skillet for two to three minutes per side to develop a deep brown crust. Finish in a 400°F oven for five to ten minutes until the internal temperature reaches 120°F for medium-rare. Allow the steak to rest for ten minutes before slicing against the grain to preserve tenderness and juiciness.
