Tales from the Experimental Kitchen: Hanger Steak
(Several days delayed.)
Take ye a hanger steak, maybe .65 lb, that your housemate thoughtfully acquired from Whole Foods. Set on counter, properly protected from cats, until it reaches room temperature. Meantime, heat the cast iron skillet to REALLY FUCKING HOT. Brush the steak with oil and sprinkle with salt and ground pepper.
When all is in readiness, put steak in skillet. Let it cook for several minutes while you slice up a pepper and half an onion. Flip, cook for roughly same time. Decant the steak to a plate (it will continue cooking for a bit), put a bit more oil or butter into the pan, then add the sliced veg. Saute the veg on tolerably high heat until they start to soften, then add a tablespoon of red wine vinegar; cook til evaporated (fast), then add 1/4 c. red wine. Keep cooking until nicely done. (Optional: put the steak back in because your housemate likes her meat to be not actually still alive, and splash a bit more wine on it too.)
Slice meat thin, arrange neatly on plate around pile of caramelized veg. Serves two, with enough for someone's lunch later in the week.
