Spice-Rubbed Rib Eye Steak With Orange-Pineapple Chipotle Glaze
- 4 cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups orange juice
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons pureed chipotle chiles in adobo, to taste
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 14 cup fresh lime juice
- 12 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- salt, to taste
- cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 (6 -10 ounce) rib eye steaks, about 1 1/2 inches thick
- 2 12 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- Prepare the glaze - you can make this ahead and reheat before use!
- In a saucepan blend the pineapple and orange juices with the vinegar, pureed chipotles and ground cumin.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered until mixture is reduced by 2/3, 45-60 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste.
- (If you want to use as a basting sauce for other recipes, stop here.)
- Return mixture to heat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer to reduce by almost one half.
- The glaze or basting sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for one month.
- For the steak, combine the toasted cumin seeds, cracked peppercorns and salt in a small bowl.
- Rub the steaks on both sides with the spice mixture.
- Let sit at room temperature while you heat the grill.
- Grill the steaks over very hot coals (or pan-sear the steaks over high heat) about 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 1-2 minutes longer for medium, less for rare, checking carefully for doneness since the thickness of the steaks and intensity of heat will affect cooking time.
- Remove steaks from heat when just slightly underdone: cooking will continue while standing.
- Brush with glaze, and allow steaks to stand for 5-8 minutes.
- Serve on warmed plates, with extra glaze on the side.
