CORIANDER & CUMIN CRUSTED WAGYU HANGER STEAK

Steps:

• COOKING INSTRUCTIONS FOR FULLBLOOD WAGYU HANGER STEAKS:Take hanger steaks out of fridge or freezer, and bring to room temperature. Grind coriander and cumin in a spice grinder or use a mortar and pestle. Grind until coarsely ground. Season hanger steaks with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Coat with coriander and cumin until well crusted, pressing to adhere all of the spices. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high. Add enough grape seed oil to coat the pan. Once the pan is hot, place the hanger steaks in the pan. Sear each steak on all four sides for 3 minutes to achieve medium-rare. You should have a nice caramelized crust on all sides. If steak doesn't feel done (cooked completely), you can finish cooking it in the oven.
