Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. A half-hour before cooking, remove steak from refrigerator.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Add oil to hot skillet and when it begins to smoke add steak. Reduce heat slightly and cook steak until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the steak registers 120 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cut steak from the bone and carve meat across the grain.
BRAAI SPICE MIX
In South Africa, a braai is an outdoor barbecue over an open fire. To replicate the smoky flavors indoors, we've added smoked paprika to the traditional spice mix. Use this blend to season roasted vegetables, chicken or beef.

Steps:
- Combine the coriander, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, cayenne and nutmeg in a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted and aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool in the pan. Stir in the brown sugar. The spice mix will keep for several weeks in an airtight container in your pantry.
BRAAI-SPICED T-BONE STEAKS
Grilling meat is practically the South African national sport, crossing lines of wealth, geography and even race. Braai means grill in Afrikaans, and some say it's the only word recognized in all of the country's 11 official languages. There's no reason this braai sout, a fragrant dry rub, can't be used on steaks other than a T-bone. But the T-bone has had special status there since Archbishop Desmond Tutu, as part of a campaign to bring all South Africans together around the braai, pointed out that the shape of that steak mimics the shape of Africa itself. Serve with whole potatoes roasted in the coals, and drink beer or one of South Africa's excellent wines.

Steps:
- Make the braai spice: In a grinder or mortar and pestle, grind all the seasonings and herbs until fine.
- Rub steaks with the braai spice and set aside in refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before grilling.
- Heat a grill until screaming hot. Place steaks on the grill and cook, turning every 2 minutes or so, until crusty outside and medium-rare inside, 120 to 125 degrees. Let rest 10 minutes and slice across the grain for serving.

Tips:
- Select high-quality T-bone steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
- Prepare the braai: Ensure the braai is clean and the coals are evenly distributed. The coals should be hot but not flaming.
- Season the steaks: Generously season the steaks with the braai spice mix, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
- Cook the steaks: Place the steaks on the braai grid and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or 6-7 minutes per side for medium. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Rest the steaks: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the braai and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Braai-spiced T-bone steaks are delicious served with various sides such as grilled vegetables, potato salad, or a fresh green salad.
