I don't know how good it is for reheating, but I like to make this six spice hanger steak recipie I found online. I can never find hanger steak, but I believe that skirt steak is right next to it on the cow, and the recipie works fine with any steak really.

From: http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/2000s...e-hanger-steak

For steak
2 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns
10 black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon anise seeds
1 (2-inch) piece cinnamon stick
4 cloves
2 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar
1 hanger steak (about 2 lb and 1 1/2 inches thick), center gristle removed

For sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
2 teaspoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced shallot
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Equipment:an electric coffee/spice grinder

Make steak:
•Preheat broiler and lightly oil rack of broiler pan.
•Finely grind spices with brown sugar and 1 1/2 tsp salt in grinder.
•Pat steak dry, then sprinkle evenly with spice mixture and rub into meat. Broil steak 2 to 3 inches from heat, turning once, 7 to 12 minutes for medium-rare. Let steak rest on a plate at least 10 minutes.

Make sauce while steak rests:
•Heat sauce ingredients, except cilantro, with meat juices from plate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring, until warm. Stir in cilantro before serving.


It's sooo good! The first time I made it I didn't have an electric grinder, so I ended up grinding everything in a pepper grinder. It took forever and my arm was sore by the time I was done. If you have an electric grinder, you can probably make it in less than 40 minutes. Even without an electric grinder, its totally worth making. With $15 dollars of steak, you can make a meal for four people that tastes better than a $30 steak at a restaurant.
