Ivo's Grilled Spice-Rubbed Flank Steak
- 1 12-2 lbs flank steaks or 1 12-2 lbs skirt steaks
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 12 teaspoons paprika
- 1 12 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 12 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 12 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 12 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Clean the flank or skirt steak up a little, cutting away some of the membranes and fat.
- Make a paste of the remaining ingredients and rub the the meat on both sides with this paste.
- I cut the steak in half so I have two smaller ones and lay them on top of each other, but that's just me, I'm weird that way.
- Refrigerate overnight in a large, sealed zip lock bag.
- Bring steak to room temperature by removing from fridge 30 minutes before cooking time.
- If you're grilling it over charcoal (and you should), get it insanely hot and put the steak close to the charcoal for about 2-3 minutes per side to sear it closed.
- Then move it further away and grill it for a total of about 15 minutes, turning it at least once.
- When it looks slightly charred and no longer feels bouncy when you poke it, it's probably done.
- SLICE THINLY ACROSS THE GRAIN.
- Flank steak is a rather tough cut of meat and slicing it this way is very important for "cheery chewing".
- Serve the meat however you like, but they're quite good in a pita with a bit of lettuce, tomato and maybe a garlic sauce -- sort of like a home-made Shoarma.
