Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus for brushing
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 jalapeno chile, seeded and minced
2 ripe yellow plantains

Steps:

  • 1. For steak: Stir oil, allspice, salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and pepper together in a bowl, to make a paste. Rub mixture all over steak and set aside until room temperature, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • 2. Preheat a grill to high.
  • 3. For mojo: Toast cumin seeds in a small dry skillet over high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Grind seeds in a spice grinder or using a mortar and pestle.
  • 4. Heat olive oil and garlic along with toasted cumin over medium-high heat until garlic begins to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Cool oil slightly and whisk with lime juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and jalapeno in medium bowl.
  • 5. Grill steak until slightly charred and crisp and medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Set aside on a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • 6. Brush plantains lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on grill, skin-side down, and cook until soft and skin is charred about 5 minutes. Turn and cook to sear on grill marks, about 2 minutes more.
  • 7. Slice steak and arrange on a platter with plantains, drizzle with some mojo. Serve with remaining sauce at table.

Categories     Steak

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs flank steaks or 1 1/2 lbs boneless sirloin steaks
2 teaspoons minced garlic (recipe uses dried, would be great with fresh too)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon minced onion (recipe uses dried, would be fine with fresh)

1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: For this recipe, a flank steak or skirt steak is best. These cuts are relatively thin and have a good amount of marbling, which will help them stay tender and juicy. Flank steak is often preferred because it is more tender, though slightly less flavorful than skirt steak.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the steak for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the steak and create a nice crust. Be sure to preheat your grill before cooking the steak.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for grilled steak include grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This Caribbean grilled steak recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or any other special occasion. The steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, then grilled over high heat until cooked to perfection. The end result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful steak that is sure to please everyone at the table.
