This aromatic six-spice hanger steak is a sophisticated choice for those seeking a protein-rich, diabetes-friendly main course. By grinding your own Sichuan peppercorns, fennel, and star anise, you create a complex crust that beautifully complements the deep, rich flavour of the beef. The hanger steak, often favoured by butchers for its tenderness, absorbs the warmth of the cinnamon and cloves, resulting in a dish that feels indulgent while remaining nutritionally balanced.
The accompanying soy and ginger reduction provides a sharp, savoury finish that cuts through the spice rub without the need for heavy fats or oils. This recipe is an excellent option for a quick midweek supper or a healthy weekend treat. Serve the sliced steak with steamed pak choi or a crisp green salad to keep the meal light, fragrant, and satisfyingly wholesome.
