    Almost nothing tastes better on steak or lamb that is thick enough to slice than an Israeli or North African spice rub. I combined a bit of both in this rub, using the base from an Israeli Hawaij rub and adding coriander which is more commonly found in Moroccan rubs. The combination is phenomenal. You won't be disappointed!

    Ingredients

    • 2 1/2 pounds steak (Tri-tip, London Broil, Top Sirloin, or any other steak thick enough to serve sliced)
    • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
    • 1 Tbsp ground turmeric
    • 1 Tbsp ground coriander
    • 1 Tbsp ground black pepper
    • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper - optional

    Directions

    1. Mix all spices together in a small bowl with fingers or a spoon.
    2. Trim the steak and poke holes all over both sides with a fork.
    3. Using fingers, thorough rub top, bottom, and sides of steak with the spice mixture. Don't be afraid to load it on thick. The steak will look bright yellow when done, but will be brown after cooking.
    4. Heat grill to med-high. Spray top of steak with a olive oil spray (or normal cooking spray), or coat grill lightly with oil. Place steak on grill and grill 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness) with grill cover down. Then open cover, flip steak, and grill an additional 3-5 minutes with top up.
    5. Serve steak sliced thinly with rice, potatoes, corn, or any other side dishes.

        I would try this rub on a Cowboy Steak, ( google and you should be able to get this cut at your local butcher or meat processing place, sometimes Shnucks or Higher end Grocer will have or cut one for you) The Steak is huge and has a bone in, (it got its name from when the cowboys would cook on an open flame and they could pick it up by the bone, I guess the appetites were hefty and the silverware was slim? This steak could way close to two pounds and could feed two so don't feel guilty if you cant finish it at one setting,it warms up in the microwave on reheat, or in a warm oven. It is sooooo good. Its a must and I buy it and grill it every year on Fathers Day, its a new Tradition, just for me, the father of three kids and a great Wife still putting up with me going strong after 30 years . Its my present to myself! Show your Dad or Father or Husband some love for his tummy! This will be a Steak he will never forget!!! Make some memories and maybe a tradition Enjoy.

          I'm excited about the shift from lamb to beef in this recipe, but mostly the African rub. Thanks. I will try this weekend.
