Sheet-Pan Hanger Steak does things a little differently than other steak dinners made from the comfort of your home. It cooks up the juicy, savory steak with its vegetables, but instead of side-by-side, the steaks sit on top of a wire rack over the vegetables. Why does this matter? Because all of those tender vegetables are about to get infused with the beef drippings, making them even more roasty and delectable than before. Such a home-cooking innovation, as is the zesty compound butter bringing out the best in all the flavors! Sheet-Pan Hanger Steak can hang with the best of them!
