Zak Pelaccio'S Hanger Steak Salad Recipe

1. 1

   In a small bowl, stir together the palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. Taste the mixture. Do you want it sweeter, saltier, or more acidic? It's up to you.

2. 2

   Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat until it's smoking. Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and add the steaks. Cook until beautifully brown on one side, about 6 minutes, then flip and cook for 4 more minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat to medium and add the Shaoxing wine, scrape up any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic, ginger, and chiles, and cook for 30 seconds, remove the skillet from the heat.

4. 4

   Slice the steaks against the grain. Add them to the bowl and top with the pan liquid. Then add the fish-sauce-lime dressing, the onion, and the herbs. Toss and serve.
