Hanger steak is best when used fresh. Store raw hanger steak in the refrigerator at a temperature below 40°F (4°C). Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent cross-contamination and moisture loss. It should be used within 2-3 days. For longer storage, freeze the steak. Wrap it securely in freezer-safe wrap or place it in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. Frozen hanger steak can maintain its quality for up to 6-12 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before cooking.
