Hanger Steak
Often called the “butcher’s secret,” hanger steak is the cut that meat cutters used to keep for themselves — and once you taste it, you’ll understand why. This deeply flavorful steak hangs from the diaphragm of the cow, giving it a rich, almost mineral intensity that rivals cuts twice its price. It takes beautifully to a simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs, and cooks best over high heat to a perfect medium-rare. Slice it thin against the grain, and you’ve got one of the most satisfying bites of the season.
Ribeye Steak
There’s a reason the ribeye is a steakhouse icon. Generously marbled with intramuscular fat, this cut delivers an unmatched combination of buttery tenderness and bold, beefy flavor. Spring calls for keeping things simple — season it with coarse salt and cracked black pepper, let it come to room temperature, and sear it in a screaming-hot pan or over glowing charcoal. The fat renders down into pure, juicy perfection, and a finishing pat of herb butter takes it to another level entirely.
Steak Frites
Few dishes capture the joy of a great meal quite like steak frites. This beloved French bistro classic pairs a perfectly cooked steak — traditionally a tender cut like bavette or sirloin — with a generous pile of golden, crispy fries. It’s casual elegance at its finest, the kind of meal that feels just as at home on a weeknight as it does at a dinner party. Drizzle it all with a peppery pan sauce or a dollop of herbed butter, add a simple green salad on the side, and you’ve got a spring dinner worth savoring.
Spring is all about savoring bold flavors and making the most of every meal. Whether you’re discovering the hidden gem of hanger steak, indulging in the luxurious richness of a ribeye, or channeling your inner Parisian with a plate of steak frites, these three picks are guaranteed to make your spring dining unforgettable. Now grab your tongs — it’s steak season.
