    Best Sides For Hanger Steak

    Here are some of my favorite sides to answer your question about what to serve with hanger steak!

    1. Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes

    Meat and potatoes go together like butter and popcorn. They’re made for each other. Garlic red skin mashed potatoes are incredibly creamy and rich.

    Roasted garlic adds a slight sweetness that intensifies the already amazing flavor. You’ll want to make enough for leftovers!

    Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes

    2. White Cheddar Mac and Cheese

    It’s easy to throw together and well worth a few hours of cooking.

    Succotash seems to be absent from most people’s radar these days, but it was once a very common dish in the south. Full of butter beans, corn, bacon, onion, and red bell pepper, this is also almost a meal in itself.

    It’s filling, flexible, and easy.

    Rich, meaty mushrooms and sweet onions are one of my favorite combinations. You might assume correctly that butter, garlic, salt, and pepper are all part of the dish, but worcestershire is the secret ingredient.

    It adds a flavor boost that everyone will appreciate. And if you’re out, red wine is also pretty spectacular.

    Much as the name implies, boil your corn on the cob in water, milk, butter, and a bit of sugar for the softest, sweetest results you can get! Kernels soak up the rich liquid for a plump, tasty treat all the way through.

    Milk brings out the natural sugars in the corn even without sweetening the pot. Throw on some paprika for a colorful garnish.

    Here’s another show-stopping mac and cheese, and there isn’t even any pasta in it! It’s cheesy, buttery, and tangy as the traditional thing, but its main ingredient is cauliflower.

    Spicy black pepper and baby spinach bring a lightness to the dish that sets it apart from some of the more indulgent versions. And as an added bonus, this recipe can easily be made gluten-free.

    15. Parmesan Roasted Artichokes

    Dip leaves in sour cream, pesto sauce, or lemon juice to bring it to the next level.

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
    • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 lb mushrooms (white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms - cleaned and sliced, quartered, or halved depending on size)
    • 1 large sweet onion (Walla Walla and Vidalia sweet onions are the best for flavor)
    • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
    • each, salt & pepper (to taste)

    Instructions

    • Bring a large skillet or non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer stir in the Worcestershire sauce and add the mushrooms.
      2 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 lb mushrooms
    • Saute the mushrooms for about 5 minutes on their own, until they start to turn golden brown, stirring every minute and a half or so. Add the sliced sweet onions and continue to saute, stirring occasionally, until caramelized. This should take about 10 minutes.
      1 large sweet onion
    • Once the mushrooms and onions are browned and almost ready to serve, reduce the heat to low, stir in the garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 30 seconds to a minute more then remove from heat and serve immediately.
      1 teaspoon garlic, each, salt & pepper

    Equipment You May Need

    Frying Pan
    Silicone Spatula Set
    Knife Set

    Notes

    • If you cutting your mushrooms into quarters and/or halves, be sure to try and get them approximately the same size so that they will cook evenly.
    • Sweet onions truly do have a sweeter flavor than your standard yellow onion variety. If you have them on hand, they're much better when sauteed with mushrooms.
    • You can substitute the Worcestershire sauce with equal amounts of either soy sauce, red wine (a good quality dry red wine works best), balsamic vinegar, or beef stock.
    • When cooking the mushrooms it is important to not rush. Allow them to cook off their water content.
    • A splash of fresh (not bottled) lemon juice takes this tasty mushroom and onion side dish from amazing to out-of-this-world!
    • To quickly clean your mushrooms (without getting them water-logged) brush them off with a damp towel or dry brush OR place them into a colander and spray them using your sink sprayer.
