GRILLED NEW YORK STRIP STEAK WITH SPICY RUB

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the spice rub ingredients. Trim the steaks of most of the external fat. Sprinkle both sides of the steaks generously with rub.
• Heat a gas grill. Turn one burner to high, another to medium, and another to off. (For a charcoal grill, see tips below).
• Sear the steaks on the hottest area of the grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Move to medium-hot (or an unheated area of the grill) if flare-ups occur. When the steaks are seared and grill-marked, move them to a medium-hot area and rotate to create cross-hatched grill marks. Cook for another 4 or 5 minutes, then test for doneness with an instant-read thermometer: 120 to 125°F for rare, 130 to 135°F for medium rare. Continue to grill until done to your liking.
• Remove the steaks to a platter and cover lightly with foil. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes or so before serving.

• Rest the steak for 10 minutes before slicing.

GRILLED SPICE-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with kosher salt. Stir together spices in a bowl, then stir in garlic and oil until a paste forms. Pat steak dry, then rub all over with paste. Marinate steak in a sealed large plastic bag, chilled, at least 6 hours.
• Bring steak to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• While steak comes to room temperature, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
• Grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once, 4 to 6 minutes total for medium-rare.
• Cut steak diagonally across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Divide sweet-potato salad among 6 plates, then top with steak and arugula.

STRIP STEAK WITH SPICE RUB

Steps:

• Let the steaks come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with the oil and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with the orange peel, if desired, to create the spice rub. Sprinkle the rub on both sides of the steaks, pressing to adhere to the surface of the meat (some spice rub will be left over).
• If using a gas grill, preheat to medium- to medium-high, depending on your grill. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the hot charcoal or wood briquettes evenly under the cooking area for direct heat. Oil the grate.
• Grill for about 7 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees for medium-rare. Let steaks rest, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
