Hanger steak with sweet potato mash recipe

Hanger steak is a great cut that is full of flavour when served rare, so adjust the cooking time suggested according to the thickness of the steak. Here Sophie pairs it with beta carotene-rich sweet potato and a light dressing similar to South America’s chimichurri sauce.

Step-by-step

  1. Mix the soy sauce, garlic, oil and pineapple juice in a jug until well combined. Put the hanger steaks in a flat dish, then pour over the marinade.
  2. Roll the steaks in the marinade until well coated, then cover with clear film and put in the fridge to marinate for 1 hour.
  3. Put the sweet potato in a saucepan, cover with lightly salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Drain off the water and mash with a little salt and pepper.
  4. Meanwhile, heat a ridged griddle pan over a medium-high heat and season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Put the steaks in the hot pan and cook, turning often, for 8-10 minutes until browned but still quite pink in the middle.
  5. Let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
  6. While it is resting, make the dressing. Put all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until well combined but still with some texture.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the steaks and serve with the sweet potato mash.
