A '''hanger steak''' is a cut of [[beef]] [[steak]] prized for its flavor. Derived from the [[diaphragm (anatomy)|diaphragm]] of a [[Cattle#Terminology|steer or heifer]], it typically weighs about 1.0 to 1.5&nbsp;lb (450 to 675 g). In the past, it was sometimes known as "butcher's steak" because [[butcher]]s would often keep it for themselves rather than offer it for sale.<ref>

Hanger steak resembles [[flank steak]] in texture and flavor. It is a vaguely V-shaped pair of muscles with a long, inedible membrane down the middle. The hanger steak is not particularly tender and is best marinated and cooked quickly over high heat ([[Grilling|grilled]] or [[broiling|broiled]]) and served rare or [[medium rare]], to avoid toughness.

Anatomically, the hanger steak is said to "hang" from the [[diaphragm (anatomy)|diaphragm]] of the [[Cattle#Terminology|steer]].<ref name="fieldguide">

The hanger is attached to the last rib and the spine near the kidneys.

Occasionally seen on menus as a "bistro steak", hanger steak is also very traditional in Mexican cuisine, particularly in the north, where it is known as ''arrachera'', and is generally marinated, grilled and served with a squeeze of lime juice, [[guacamole]], [[Salsa (sauce)|salsa]] and [[tortilla]]s to roll [[taco]]s. In South Texas, this cut of beef is known as ''fajitas arracheras''.

The hanger steak has historically been more popular in Europe. In Britain, it is referred to as "skirt". In French, it is known as the ''onglet'', in Italian the ''lombatello'', and in Spanish the ''solomillo de pulmón''.<ref name="fieldguide" /> Elsewhere in the United States, it is slowly starting to become popular; formerly it was not separated as an individual cut.

Its U.S. meat-cutting classification is [[NAMP]] 140.
