The Butcher's Steak, Straight From Our Alabama Ranch
There's only one hanger steak on every animal. For a long time, butchers kept it for themselves, which is how it earned the name "butcher's steak." Our grass fed hanger steak comes from cattle born and raised on our Alabama ranch, dry aged up to 28 days, then flash frozen and vacuum-sealed so it reaches your kitchen the way it left ours.
Why We Dry Age Every Hanger Steak Up to 28 Days
A lot of grocery store beef is wet aged in plastic because it's faster and cheaper. We chose the slower road. Dry aging lets moisture leave the meat and gives the beef's natural enzymes time to work, which deepens the flavor and softens the texture. On a cut that already carries this much beefy flavor, the difference shows up on the plate.
What Makes a Hanger Steak Different
The hanger steak hangs from the diaphragm, between the rib and the loin, and it's grouped with the plate. You may also see it called a hanging tender or onglet. It has a loose, open grain like our grass-fed skirt steak, so it takes a marinade well, but it's thicker and eats more like a steak than a strip for fajitas. Cook it hot and fast, rest it, and slice it thin against the grain.
You won't find a feedlot behind this steak. Our cattle are grass-fed on pasture and finished with free-choice access to non-GMO grain while they're still on grass. It costs more to raise beef this way. We think it's worth it, and we'd rather tell you exactly how it's done than ask you to guess.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions
What is a hanger steak?
A hanger steak is a cut that hangs from the diaphragm, between the rib and the loin. There is only one on each animal. It has a loose, open grain and a deep, beefy flavor, and it is also known as the butcher's steak, hanging tender, or onglet.
Why is hanger steak called the butcher's steak?
Because there is only one hanger steak per animal, there was never much of it to sell. Butchers were known for keeping it for themselves, and the name stuck.
What is the difference between hanger steak and skirt steak?
Both come from the plate area and both have an open grain that takes a marinade well. Skirt steak is long, thin, and wide. Hanger steak is shorter and thicker, so it cooks and eats more like a traditional steak. We offer both.
How long is your grass fed hanger steak dry aged?
Every hanger steak is dry aged up to 28 days, then vacuum-sealed and flash frozen. Dry aging deepens the flavor and improves tenderness.
How is the beef for your hanger steak raised?
Our cattle are born and raised on our Alabama ranch. They are grass-fed on pasture and finished with free-choice access to non-GMO grain while still on grass. We never use antibiotics, added hormones, or vaccines.
