T-Bone Steaks With North African Spices image

A mix of spices -- coriander, cumin, caraway, cinnamon, and turmeric -- complements the caramelized crust that forms from either pan-searing, grilling, or broiling the versatile T-bone steak. Oven directions are given but better on the BBQ or pan grilled

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 - t-bone beef steaks, about 1 inch thick (or whatever you have)
2 teaspoon(s) olive oil
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 teaspoon(s) coriander seeds
1 teaspoon(s) cumin seed
1 teaspoon(s) caraway seed
2 teaspoon(s) dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon(s) turmeric
1/2 teaspoon(s) olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a wire rack over a baking pan and set aside. Rub steaks with olive oil, season with salt, and set aside
  • Coarsely grind the coriander, cumin, caraway, and rosemary using a mortar and pestle or an electric grinder. Transfer ground spices to a bowl and mix in the black pepper, cinnamon, and turmeric.
  • Rub each steak with 1 tablespoon of spice mixture, making sure to cover both sides. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the canola oil and sear the steaks until a brown crust forms. Turn and repeat on the other side.
