The beef onglet also known as hanger steak is a thick narrow piece of meat from the underside of the beef. It hangs between the rib and the loin; that is why it got the name of hanger. It is part of the diaphragm muscle and it has a flavorful taste similar to skirt steak but it can be dangerous if not prepared correctly. The beef onglet steak has a rough texture and it is suitable for numerous dishes such as fajitas or bulgogi. There are numerous methods to prepare the hanger steak, although it generally has a tendency to dry out and to get rough when it is exposed to dry heat. Before grilling and broiling it is recommended to use a marinade to keep it moist. In order to marinade hanger steak, one has to place it in an acid-resistant container and add the marinades such as lemon juice, wine or vinegar; then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for six hours or overnight.
