TANDOORI STYLE STEAK
A tandoor is a type of oven found in India that is sort of a cross between an oven and a grill. It cooks, usually, over high heat, like 500 degrees F. If you do not have a tandoor, you can use either the broiler of your oven or a grill. Bear in mind that this is called tandoori "style" because beef is not eaten in India because the cow is sacred. Adapted from Michael Ledwith, Hungry Heron Catering, Islamorada, Florida.

Steps:
- Heat a dry cast iron skillet over medium heat; add mustard seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns, grains of paradise (of the substitute noted below), and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 1 to 3 minutes; transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Grind cooled spices, in a spice grinder or use a mortar and pestle, to a coarse powder; add the salt, pepper flakes, and cayenne.
- Cut steak into pieces that are bout 1 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long; brush with olive oil and generously season with the spice rub.
- Thread steaks onto skewers, through the narrow end, about 3 pieces per skewer.
- Heat the tandoor to 500 degrees F (grill or broiler to high); cook kebabs until browned, about 5 minutes for medium rare (for grill or broiler, about 3 to 4 minutes per side).
- NOTE: Grains of paradise look like small peppercorns, but taste like a combination of black pepper and allspice. The are sold at specialty markets, like thespicehouse.com. You can substitute 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper and 2 allspice berries (or 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice) to approximate the flavor.
