Ingredients
- 3 TBSP vegetable oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 Fresno chile or red jalapeño, seeded, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 TBSP tomato paste
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
- 2 TBSP whole grain mustard
- Few dashes of hot sauce
- hanger steak, center membrane removed, cut into 4 pieces
Preparation
Step 1
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and chile; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add tomato paste to saucepan and cook, stirring, until beginning to darken, about 1 minute. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, and hot sauce; simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée with ½ cup water until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, if desired. Set sauce aside.
Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer registers 130° for medium-rare, 8–10 minutes.
Transfer meat to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with sauce.
DO AHEAD: Steak sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
