The Split Hanger Reduces Waste by 75%


The Split Hanger Reduces Waste by 75%

Cleaner and easier to portion, our split hanger steak is designed to save you time
and labor in the kitchen, yielding much more bang for the buck.

If you’ve worked with whole hanging tenders before, chances are you spent a lot of time trimming and ended up with a lot of waste. Up to now, hangers have been available either untrimmed or trimmed and peeled/PAD. Untrimmed, which is the standard USDA spec, is super fatty, requiring a great deal of labor to trim and cut and resulting in more waste than many chefs want. But even trimmed and peeled/PAD hangers don’t reduce labor and increase yields that much, leading many chefs to opt for pricier pre-portioned hanger steaks for foodservice.

Now restaurant supplier Marx Foodservice offers a better option. Our Irish Nature Beef Split Hanger is cleaned, trimmed, and steak ready right out of the bag. In our test kitchen trials, the Split Hanger achieved a 91% steak yield, versus 71% for the standard USDA hanger. At the same time, it reduced waste by 75% and required almost no labor.

About Irish NatMore Reasons to Choose Irish Nature Beef for Foodserviceure Beef

If you want the flavor of grain-fed beef with the benefits of a pasture-based grass-fed system, now you have a choice. A grain-enhanced, grass-based diet gives Irish Nature Beef a taste many beef lovers crave, achieved with no feedlot fattening. Plus, it’s among the most sustainable grain-fed beef for foodservice you can buy.

The story of Irish Nature Beef begins on more than 28,000 small farms across Ireland where many farmers have been raising cattle for generations. Conventional beef is fattened mainly on corn, mostly in crowded, stressful feedlots prior to slaughter. In contrast, multiple grasses and grains nourish Irish Nature Beef throughout its life span. Ireland’s temperate climate allows free-range grazing on pasture most of the year. When fresh grass isn’t plentiful, a variety of cut grasses and local grains, including barley, soy, and corn, enrich the animal’s diet. There is never any feedlot fattening. That diversity of feed is the key to Irish Nature Beef’s complex flavor.

Ultra-tender Irish Nature Beef is the most sustainably raised, humanely treated, grain-fed beef for restaurants you can buy. Few beef companies take sustainability as seriously as ABP, producer of Irish Nature Beef, which has four times earned Sustainability Certification from the Carbon Trust.

Irish Nature Beef is pasture-raised for most of the year on 2,000 small farms across Ireland that adhere to strict EU animal welfare standards. There is no feedlot fattening and never any sub-therapeutic antibiotics or growth promotants. A diet of grass naturally fortified with grain, along with longer aging on the bone than is customary, gives Irish Nature Beef the flavor many beef lovers crave.
