This vibrant hanger steak with malanga mash is a sophisticated high-protein dish that brings bold, citrusy flavours to your dinner table. The hanger steak, often prized by butchers for its deep beefy flavour and tender texture, is elevated by a zesty marinade of orange, lemon, and white wine vinegar. When paired with earthy, velvet-textured malanga—a delicious root vegetable similar to a yam—it creates a balanced and deeply satisfying meal that feels special yet remains simple to prepare.

Ideal for a nutritious mid-week supper or a weekend treat, this recipe focuses on quality ingredients and bright seasonings. The adobo powder adds a gentle warmth that complements the charred exterior of the beef perfectly. For the best results, ensure your frying pans are nice and hot before searing to achieve that essential caramelised crust, while keeping the inside beautifully pink and juicy. Serve with a simple green salad for a fresh, complete meal.
